18 STARLING WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 STARLING WAY sales from November 1996 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 November 1996 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 18 STARLING WAY be worth now?

18 STARLING WAY might now be worth an estimated £354,908.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.5%, between January 2019 and July 2025, for semi-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 24.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 STARLING WAY of £285,000 on 4th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £354,908 over the five years and six months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 STARLING WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 STARLING WAY has not materially changed since January 2019.
