HOLLYWALK 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 two HOLLYWALK COTTAGE sales from April 2001 and June 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 April 2001 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might HOLLYWALK COTTAGE be worth now?

HOLLYWALK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £667,523.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.3%, between June 2021 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 20.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOLLYWALK COTTAGE of £555,000 on 11th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £555,000 to £667,523 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOLLYWALK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £555,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
