5 CHURCH AVENUE 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 four 5 CHURCH AVENUE sales between April 2001 and May 2020 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 June 2005 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 5 CHURCH AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 24.2%, between May 2020 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 24.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CHURCH AVENUE of £376,000 on 27th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £376,000 to £466,862 over the five years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
