5 THE SYCAMORES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE SYCAMORES sales from January 2013 and December 2017 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 2013 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE SYCAMORES be worth now?

5 THE SYCAMORES might now be worth an estimated £300,688.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between December 2017 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE SYCAMORES of £241,000 on 21st December 2017. For the value to have increased from £241,000 to £300,688 over the eight years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE SYCAMORES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £241,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE SYCAMORES has not materially changed since December 2017.
