GREEN GABLES 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 GREEN GABLES sales between October 1996 and October 2018 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 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might GREEN GABLES be worth now?

GREEN GABLES might now be worth an estimated £554,047.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.6%, between October 2018 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 16.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GREEN GABLES of £475,000 on 19th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £554,047 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GREEN GABLES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2018 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GREEN GABLES has not materially changed since October 2018.
