32 KATHERINE 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 32 KATHERINE DRIVE sales from May 2005 and June 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 May 2005 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might 32 KATHERINE DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 55.6%, between June 2015 and December 2024, 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 55.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 KATHERINE DRIVE of £285,000 on 26th June 2015. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £443,545 over the eight years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
