49 DOWNS ROAD 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 49 DOWNS ROAD sales between August 1995 and April 2009 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 February 2006 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the April 2009 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 49 DOWNS ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 113.1%, between April 2009 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 113.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 49 DOWNS ROAD of £224,930 on 30th April 2009. For the value to have increased from £224,930 to £479,405 over the fourteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
