79 RIVERSIDE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 79 RIVERSIDE sales between September 1995 and January 2023 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 2019 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 79 RIVERSIDE be worth now?

79 RIVERSIDE might now be worth an estimated £594,456.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.5%, between January 2023 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 2.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 RIVERSIDE of £580,000 on 5th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £580,000 to £594,456 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 79 RIVERSIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £580,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 79 RIVERSIDE has not materially changed since January 2023.
