THE BARN 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 THE BARN sales from July 2004 and January 2019 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 July 2004 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might THE BARN be worth now?

THE BARN might now be worth an estimated £774,556.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.5%, between January 2019 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 16.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BARN of £665,000 on 25th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £665,000 to £774,556 over the four years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BARN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £665,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BARN has not materially changed since January 2019.
