72 DOWNS ROAD 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 three 72 DOWNS ROAD sales between June 1997 and March 2018 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 January 2002 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 72 DOWNS ROAD be worth now?

72 DOWNS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £348,673.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.3%, between March 2018 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 21.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 72 DOWNS ROAD of £287,500 on 2nd March 2018. For the value to have increased from £287,500 to £348,673 over the seven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 72 DOWNS ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2018 sale price of £287,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
