38 THE CHILTERNS 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 38 THE CHILTERNS sales between April 1996 and July 2016 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 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 38 THE CHILTERNS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 31.8%, between July 2016 and February 2025, 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 31.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 THE CHILTERNS of £438,000 on 1st July 2016. For the value to have increased from £438,000 to £577,427 over the nine years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
