What might BURY FARM COTTAGE be worth now?

BURY FARM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,413,762.

This is based on house price inflation of 182.8%, between May 2002 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 182.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BURY FARM COTTAGE of £500,000 on 3rd May 2002. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £1,413,762 over the 23 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BURY FARM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2002 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
