278 BIDEFORD GREEN 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 three 278 BIDEFORD GREEN sales between November 1996 and February 2020 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 August 2001 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 278 BIDEFORD GREEN be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.1%, between February 2020 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 22.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 278 BIDEFORD GREEN of £315,000 on 21st February 2020. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £384,637 over the five years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
