40 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 two 40 WATLING PLACE sales from September 2012 and May 2016 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 September 2012 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 40 WATLING PLACE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 35.7%, between May 2016 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 35.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 WATLING PLACE of £229,950 on 26th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £229,950 to £312,091 over the nine years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
