5 THE CHILTERNS 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 THE CHILTERNS sales between April 1996 and May 2006 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 January 2002 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE CHILTERNS be worth now?

5 THE CHILTERNS might now be worth an estimated £457,570.

This is based on house price inflation of 98.1%, between May 2006 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 98.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE CHILTERNS of £231,000 on 26th May 2006. For the value to have increased from £231,000 to £457,570 over the seventeen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE CHILTERNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2006 sale price of £231,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE CHILTERNS has not materially changed since May 2006.
