CHALTON COTTAGE 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 CHALTON COTTAGE sales between October 1999 and June 2007 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 November 2003 sale was for 76% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% above the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it falls to 64% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 64% above the HPI.

What might CHALTON COTTAGE be worth now?

CHALTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £999,573.

This is based on house price inflation of 81.7%, between June 2007 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 81.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHALTON COTTAGE of £550,000 on 15th June 2007. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £999,573 over the sixteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHALTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2007 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHALTON COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2007.
