32 THE HEATH 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 four 32 THE HEATH sales between March 1998 and September 2012 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 September 2007 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might 32 THE HEATH be worth now?

32 THE HEATH might now be worth an estimated £841,900.

This is based on house price inflation of 85%, between September 2012 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 85% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 THE HEATH of £455,000 on 3rd September 2012. For the value to have increased from £455,000 to £841,900 over the eleven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 32 THE HEATH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £455,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 32 THE HEATH has not materially changed since September 2012.
