THE LODGE 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 THE LODGE sales between June 1998 and November 2015 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 November 1999 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might THE LODGE be worth now?

THE LODGE might now be worth an estimated £700,087.

This is based on house price inflation of 40%, between November 2015 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 40% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LODGE of £499,995 on 9th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £499,995 to £700,087 over the eight years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £499,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LODGE has not materially changed since November 2015.
