CAULDWELL LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five CAULDWELL LODGE sales between November 2001 and December 2021 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 February 2016 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might CAULDWELL LODGE be worth now?

CAULDWELL LODGE might now be worth an estimated £398,264.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.6%, between December 2021 and February 2025, for 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 7.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CAULDWELL LODGE of £370,000 on 15th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £398,264 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CAULDWELL LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CAULDWELL LODGE has not materially changed since December 2021.
