3 LACEWING DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 LACEWING DRIVE sales from October 2018 and March 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 October 2018 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 3 LACEWING DRIVE be worth now?

3 LACEWING DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £330,527.

This is based on house price inflation of 18%, between March 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 LACEWING DRIVE of £280,000 on 25th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £330,527 over the four years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 LACEWING DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 LACEWING DRIVE has not materially changed since March 2021.
