FIELDS VIEW 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 six FIELDS VIEW sales between June 2003 and June 2024 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 May 2017 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might FIELDS VIEW be worth now?

FIELDS VIEW might now be worth an estimated £405,693.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.2%, between June 2024 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 8.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIELDS VIEW of £375,000 on 12th June 2024. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £405,693 over the six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIELDS VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2024 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIELDS VIEW has not materially changed since June 2024.
