23 DARLOW 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 23 DARLOW DRIVE sales from March 1995 and February 2012 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 March 1995 sale was for 97% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 97% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.

What might 23 DARLOW DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 91.8%, between February 2012 and June 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 91.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 DARLOW DRIVE of £450,000 on 9th February 2012. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £862,990 over the twelve years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
