7 CHALKDOWN 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 7 CHALKDOWN sales from October 1996 and January 2020 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 1996 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 7 CHALKDOWN be worth now?

7 CHALKDOWN might now be worth an estimated £303,714.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.5%, between January 2020 and December 2024, 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 21.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 CHALKDOWN of £250,000 on 16th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £303,714 over the three years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 CHALKDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 CHALKDOWN has not materially changed since January 2020.
