5 DUKES RIDE 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 DUKES RIDE sales from May 1995 and August 2014 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 May 1995 sale was for 93% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 93% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might 5 DUKES RIDE be worth now?

5 DUKES RIDE might now be worth an estimated £1,062,063.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.4%, between August 2014 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 63.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 DUKES RIDE of £650,000 on 13th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £1,062,063 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 DUKES RIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 DUKES RIDE has not materially changed since August 2014.
