8 LOVERS WALK 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 four 8 LOVERS WALK sales between August 2002 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 October 2009 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 8 LOVERS WALK be worth now?

8 LOVERS WALK might now be worth an estimated £473,236.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.3%, between July 2013 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 89.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 LOVERS WALK of £249,995 on 12th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £249,995 to £473,236 over the twelve years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 LOVERS WALK has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2013 sale price of £249,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
