7 SHEPHERDS MEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 SHEPHERDS MEAD sales from October 1999 and February 2021 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 October 1999 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 7 SHEPHERDS MEAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 19.8%, between February 2021 and June 2025, for 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 19.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 SHEPHERDS MEAD of £400,000 on 3rd February 2021. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £479,242 over the three years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 SHEPHERDS MEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
