7 VIKING GROVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 VIKING GROVE sales between January 1997 and August 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 March 2004 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 7 VIKING GROVE be worth now?

7 VIKING GROVE might now be worth an estimated £444,343.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.8%, between August 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 VIKING GROVE of £273,000 on 28th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £273,000 to £444,343 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 VIKING GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £273,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
