16 LAVENHAM DRIVE 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 16 LAVENHAM DRIVE sales from August 1998 and July 2006 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 August 1998 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 16 LAVENHAM DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 94.5%, between July 2006 and February 2025, 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 94.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 LAVENHAM DRIVE of £345,000 on 19th July 2006. For the value to have increased from £345,000 to £670,900 over the nineteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
