LINDEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LINDEN sales from April 1997 and January 2016 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 1997 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might LINDEN be worth now?

LINDEN might now be worth an estimated £809,303.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.7%, between January 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LINDEN of £575,000 on 8th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £809,303 over the seven years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LINDEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The January 2016 sale price of £575,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LINDEN has not materially changed since January 2016.
