49 LACEWING DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 49 LACEWING DRIVE sales from May 2022 and January 2025 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 2022 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 49 LACEWING DRIVE be worth now?
