3 MALVERN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 MALVERN DRIVE sales from August 2004 and April 2017 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 2004 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might 3 MALVERN DRIVE be worth now?

3 MALVERN DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £513,604.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.7%, between April 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 28.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MALVERN DRIVE of £399,000 on 11th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £399,000 to £513,604 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 MALVERN DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £399,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 MALVERN DRIVE has not materially changed since April 2017.
