8 ROBERTS DRIVE 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 three 8 ROBERTS DRIVE sales between August 1996 and October 2016 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 September 1998 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 8 ROBERTS DRIVE be worth now?

8 ROBERTS DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £515,112.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.2%, between October 2016 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 27.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ROBERTS DRIVE of £405,000 on 7th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £405,000 to £515,112 over the seven years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ROBERTS DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £405,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
