85 GIBSON DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 85 GIBSON DRIVE sales between September 2003 and June 2019 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 2016 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 85 GIBSON DRIVE be worth now?

85 GIBSON DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £329,655.

This is based on house price inflation of 23%, between June 2019 and June 2025, for terraced 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 23% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85 GIBSON DRIVE of £268,000 on 21st June 2019. For the value to have increased from £268,000 to £329,655 over the six years to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 85 GIBSON DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2019 sale price of £268,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
