38 SAGE CLOSE 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 SAGE CLOSE sales between September 2000 and May 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 August 2005 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 38 SAGE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 19.5%, between May 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 19.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 SAGE CLOSE of £405,000 on 29th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £405,000 to £483,885 over the three years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
