5 THE ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 THE ORCHARD sales between September 2006 and January 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 December 2007 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE ORCHARD be worth now?

5 THE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £414,286.

This is based on house price inflation of 84.1%, between January 2014 and February 2025, for semi-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 84.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE ORCHARD of £225,000 on 8th January 2014. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £414,286 over the ten years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2014 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE ORCHARD has not materially changed since January 2014.
