5 GROVE 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 two 5 GROVE ROAD sales from July 2011 and February 2017 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 2011 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 5 GROVE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 27%, between February 2017 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).

The 27% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 GROVE ROAD of £290,000 on 15th February 2017. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £368,433 over the eight years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
