31 POPLAR ROAD 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 seven 31 POPLAR ROAD sales between November 1995 and July 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 2016 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 31 POPLAR ROAD be worth now?

31 POPLAR ROAD might now be worth an estimated £419,859.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.3%, between July 2019 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 25.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 POPLAR ROAD of £335,000 on 5th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £419,859 over the six years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 POPLAR ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
