6 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 two 6 THE ORCHARD sales from March 2007 and January 2022 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 March 2007 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 6 THE ORCHARD be worth now?

6 THE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £392,175.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.5%, between January 2022 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 14.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 THE ORCHARD of £342,500 on 14th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £342,500 to £392,175 over the two years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 THE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £342,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 6 THE ORCHARD has not materially changed since January 2022.
