27 RECTORY LANE 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 27 RECTORY LANE sales between February 1996 and March 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 July 2006 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might 27 RECTORY LANE be worth now?

27 RECTORY LANE might now be worth an estimated £929,174.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between March 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 RECTORY LANE of £780,000 on 23rd March 2018. For the value to have increased from £780,000 to £929,174 over the seven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 27 RECTORY LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2018 sale price of £780,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
