5 DOUGLAS PLACE 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 two 5 DOUGLAS PLACE sales from October 2003 and October 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 October 2003 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 5 DOUGLAS PLACE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 19.7%, between October 2020 and February 2025, 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).
