32 GIBSON DRIVE 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 five 32 GIBSON DRIVE sales between July 2001 and July 2015 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 March 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 32 GIBSON DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 51.6%, between July 2015 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 51.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 GIBSON DRIVE of £295,000 on 21st July 2015. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £447,184 over the eight years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
