3 ESMONDE WAY 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 3 ESMONDE WAY sales between February 2002 and January 2016 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 November 2006 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 3 ESMONDE WAY be worth now?

3 ESMONDE WAY might now be worth an estimated £446,775.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.4%, between January 2016 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 35.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 ESMONDE WAY of £329,995 on 15th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £329,995 to £446,775 over the seven years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 ESMONDE WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2016 sale price of £329,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 ESMONDE WAY has not materially changed since January 2016.
