4 HOTCH CROFT 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 4 HOTCH CROFT sales between April 2005 and February 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 August 2007 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might 4 HOTCH CROFT be worth now?

4 HOTCH CROFT might now be worth an estimated £364,834.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.2%, between February 2015 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 56.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 HOTCH CROFT of £233,500 on 27th February 2015. For the value to have increased from £233,500 to £364,834 over the eight years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 HOTCH CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2015 sale price of £233,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
