81 DOUGLAS CRESCENT 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 81 DOUGLAS CRESCENT sales from September 2010 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 September 2010 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 81 DOUGLAS CRESCENT be worth now?

81 DOUGLAS CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £416,483.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.7%, between March 2024 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 8.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 81 DOUGLAS CRESCENT of £383,000 on 15th March 2024. For the value to have increased from £383,000 to £416,483 over the one year and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 81 DOUGLAS CRESCENT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2024 sale price of £383,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
