The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 78 HITCHIN ROAD sales between March 2001 and July 2013 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 2005 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
78 HITCHIN ROAD might now be worth an estimated £561,138.
This is based on house price inflation of 87%, between July 2013 and March 2025, 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 87% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 78 HITCHIN ROAD of £300,000 on 23rd July 2013. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £561,138 over the twelve years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
