42 LAKE VIEW 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 42 LAKE VIEW sales from November 2013 and March 2024 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 2013 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 42 LAKE VIEW be worth now?

42 LAKE VIEW might now be worth an estimated £451,690.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.5%, between March 2024 and June 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 7.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 LAKE VIEW of £420,000 on 26th March 2024. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £451,690 over the nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 LAKE VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2024 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 42 LAKE VIEW has not materially changed since March 2024.
