4 THE LEYS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 THE LEYS sales from March 1999 and October 2014 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 March 1999 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 4 THE LEYS be worth now?

4 THE LEYS might now be worth an estimated £470,648.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.3%, between October 2014 and December 2024, for semi-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 62.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 THE LEYS of £290,000 on 24th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £470,648 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 THE LEYS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 THE LEYS has not materially changed since October 2014.
