GATESGARTH 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 GATESGARTH sales from April 1996 and March 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 April 1996 sale was for 72% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% above the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might GATESGARTH be worth now?

GATESGARTH might now be worth an estimated £794,441.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.9%, between March 2025 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 1.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GATESGARTH of £780,000 on 27th March 2025. For the value to have increased from £780,000 to £794,441 over the nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GATESGARTH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2025 sale price of £780,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GATESGARTH has not materially changed since March 2025.
