3 WHITECROFTS 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 WHITECROFTS sales between August 1999 and June 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 April 2015 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 3 WHITECROFTS be worth now?

3 WHITECROFTS might now be worth an estimated £488,088.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.7%, between June 2016 and February 2025, 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 33.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 WHITECROFTS of £365,000 on 30th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £488,088 over the nine years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 WHITECROFTS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2016 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 WHITECROFTS has not materially changed since June 2016.
