5 LONG MEADOW 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 LONG MEADOW sales from April 2013 and August 2019 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 April 2013 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 5 LONG MEADOW be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 19.4%, between August 2019 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 19.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LONG MEADOW of £286,000 on 23rd August 2019. For the value to have increased from £286,000 to £341,516 over the four years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
