8 THE SYCAMORES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 THE SYCAMORES sales between December 1996 and October 2015 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 July 2004 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might 8 THE SYCAMORES be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 52.3%, between October 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 52.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE SYCAMORES of £325,000 on 26th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £495,071 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
