ROSE 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 ROSE COTTAGE sales from October 2003 and January 2010 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 2003 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might ROSE COTTAGE be worth now?

ROSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £989,015.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.8%, between January 2010 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 99.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROSE COTTAGE of £495,000 on 8th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £989,015 over the fourteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2010 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2010.
