8 BLAKEDOWN ROAD 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 two 8 BLAKEDOWN ROAD sales from April 1996 and March 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 April 1996 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 8 BLAKEDOWN ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 121.8%, between March 2004 and February 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 121.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BLAKEDOWN ROAD of £189,500 on 19th March 2004. For the value to have increased from £189,500 to £420,396 over the 21 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
