38 MERCURY LANE 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 38 MERCURY LANE sales between December 2011 and December 2020 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 July 2015 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 38 MERCURY LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.8%, between December 2020 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 17.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 MERCURY LANE of £530,000 on 7th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £624,461 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 38 MERCURY LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £530,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
