KINGSWAY 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 KINGSWAY COTTAGE sales between July 2019 and October 2023 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 October 2020 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might KINGSWAY COTTAGE be worth now?
