8 QUEEN STREET 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 QUEEN STREET sales between December 1997 and December 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 May 2008 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might 8 QUEEN STREET be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.5%, between December 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 22.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 QUEEN STREET of £445,000 on 7th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £545,010 over the five years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 QUEEN STREET has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
