5 MARS DRIVE 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 three 5 MARS DRIVE sales between July 2012 and November 2018 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 2015 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 5 MARS DRIVE be worth now?

5 MARS DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £408,106.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.6%, between November 2018 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 16.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MARS DRIVE of £350,000 on 9th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £408,106 over the five years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 MARS DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 MARS DRIVE has not materially changed since November 2018.
