42 MORTIMER ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 42 MORTIMER ROAD sales between April 1999 and June 2021 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 November 2019 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 42 MORTIMER ROAD be worth now?

42 MORTIMER ROAD might now be worth an estimated £296,536.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.4%, between June 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 MORTIMER ROAD of £252,500 on 21st June 2021. For the value to have increased from £252,500 to £296,536 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 MORTIMER ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £252,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
