7 THE RYE 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 7 THE RYE sales between April 2006 and June 2021 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 2019 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 7 THE RYE be worth now?

7 THE RYE might now be worth an estimated £758,047.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.5%, between June 2021 and December 2024, 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 17.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THE RYE of £645,000 on 18th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £645,000 to £758,047 over the two years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THE RYE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £645,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 THE RYE has not materially changed since June 2021.
