57 ORCHARD CLOSE 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 57 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from November 1999 and August 2005 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 November 1999 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 57 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 104.9%, between August 2005 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 104.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 57 ORCHARD CLOSE of £299,995 on 5th August 2005. For the value to have increased from £299,995 to £614,545 over the twenty years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
