48 DERWENT ROAD 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 four 48 DERWENT ROAD sales between November 1997 and December 2018 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 2001 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 48 DERWENT ROAD be worth now?

48 DERWENT ROAD might now be worth an estimated £567,218.

This is based on house price inflation of 17%, between December 2018 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 17% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 48 DERWENT ROAD of £485,000 on 18th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £485,000 to £567,218 over the six years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 48 DERWENT ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £485,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
