3 WATLING PLACE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 WATLING PLACE sales between June 1999 and December 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 2002 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 3 WATLING PLACE be worth now?

3 WATLING PLACE might now be worth an estimated £292,730.

This is based on house price inflation of 95.2%, between December 2012 and February 2025, for semi-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 95.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 WATLING PLACE of £150,000 on 18th December 2012. For the value to have increased from £150,000 to £292,730 over the thirteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 WATLING PLACE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2012 sale price of £150,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
