79 BROOKLANDS DRIVE 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 79 BROOKLANDS DRIVE sales between November 2012 and October 2020 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 February 2013 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 79 BROOKLANDS DRIVE be worth now?

79 BROOKLANDS DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £379,169.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.5%, between October 2020 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 21.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 BROOKLANDS DRIVE of £312,000 on 9th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £312,000 to £379,169 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 79 BROOKLANDS DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £312,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
