70 THE 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 two 70 THE GROVE sales from November 1995 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 November 1995 sale was for 90% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 90% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.

What might 70 THE GROVE be worth now?

70 THE GROVE might now be worth an estimated £968,439.

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 70 THE GROVE of £595,000 on 13th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £595,000 to £968,439 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 70 THE GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £595,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
