26A MAPLE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26A MAPLE DRIVE sales between June 2000 and August 2018 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the April 2014 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 26A MAPLE DRIVE be worth now?

26A MAPLE DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £443,240.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.8%, between August 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26A MAPLE DRIVE of £370,000 on 31st August 2018. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £443,240 over the seven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26A MAPLE DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
