16 SHEPHERDS MEAD 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 16 SHEPHERDS MEAD sales from August 2020 and March 2025 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 2020 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might 16 SHEPHERDS MEAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.9%, between March 2025 and June 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 1.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 SHEPHERDS MEAD of £832,500 on 6th March 2025. For the value to have increased from £832,500 to £847,913 over the nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
