55 RUSSELL 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 55 RUSSELL DRIVE sales between October 1998 and May 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 April 2007 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, which was also at 20% below the HPI.

What might 55 RUSSELL DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 75.9%, between May 2014 and February 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 75.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 55 RUSSELL DRIVE of £282,000 on 23rd May 2014. For the value to have increased from £282,000 to £496,058 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
