3 THE ROWANS 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 THE ROWANS sales from October 1998 and November 2019 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 1998 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 3 THE ROWANS be worth now?

3 THE ROWANS might now be worth an estimated £322,040.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.5%, between November 2019 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 21.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE ROWANS of £265,000 on 29th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £322,040 over the six years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE ROWANS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 THE ROWANS has not materially changed since November 2019.
