HIGH CROFT 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 HIGH CROFT sales from December 2001 and February 2007 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 December 2001 sale was for 90% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 90% above the HPI over time, until the February 2007 sale, where it falls to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might HIGH CROFT be worth now?

HIGH CROFT might now be worth an estimated £853,699.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.6%, between February 2007 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 83.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH CROFT of £465,000 on 23rd February 2007. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £853,699 over the eighteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The February 2007 sale price of £465,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH CROFT has not materially changed since February 2007.
