40 LOVERS WALK 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 three 40 LOVERS WALK sales between August 1999 and September 2022 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 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 40 LOVERS WALK be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 5.7%, between September 2022 and February 2025, 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 5.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 LOVERS WALK of £285,500 on 30th September 2022. For the value to have increased from £285,500 to £301,814 over the three years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 LOVERS WALK has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £285,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
