The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 BIRCH GROVE sales from June 2014 and August 2021 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 June 2014 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
28 BIRCH GROVE might now be worth an estimated £443,964.
This is based on house price inflation of 16.1%, between August 2021 and December 2024, 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 16.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 BIRCH GROVE of £382,500 on 6th August 2021. For the value to have increased from £382,500 to £443,964 over the two years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
