The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 79 MEADOW WAY sales from June 2000 and April 2004 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 June 2000 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it rises to 54% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% below the HPI.
79 MEADOW WAY might now be worth an estimated £278,736.
This is based on house price inflation of 116.9%, between April 2004 and December 2024, 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 116.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 MEADOW WAY of £128,500 on 23rd April 2004. For the value to have increased from £128,500 to £278,736 over the nineteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
