Price trend: LU1 in context
An outcode sample is small, so set it against the wider market. The UK House Price Index (UKHPI) tracks average prices and annual change for the local authority and region LU1 sits in:
| Area | Average price | Annual change | As of |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Bedfordshire (local authority) | £357,709 | +2.4% | Mar 2026 |
| East of England (region) | £337,182 | +0.1% | Mar 2026 |
UKHPI is a mix-adjusted index published with a ~2-month lag. A street-level (HPSSA) small-area median is available from ONS as a bulk download — not yet wired here, so we never fabricate it.
