5 THE ROOKERY 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 THE ROOKERY sales from October 1997 and August 2004 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 October 1997 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the August 2004 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE ROOKERY be worth now?

5 THE ROOKERY might now be worth an estimated £430,322.

This is based on house price inflation of 113%, between August 2004 and March 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 113% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE ROOKERY of £202,000 on 5th August 2004. For the value to have increased from £202,000 to £430,322 over the 21 years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE ROOKERY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2004 sale price of £202,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE ROOKERY has not materially changed since August 2004.
