3 LOVENT DRIVE 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 3 LOVENT DRIVE sales between October 2001 and November 2018 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 May 2002 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 3 LOVENT DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.3%, between November 2018 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 17.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 LOVENT DRIVE of £325,000 on 9th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £381,087 over the seven years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
