In cash terms the typical MK41 6 home went from £45,500 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 188%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the MK41 6 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+48.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−8.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.2% | −2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 21 MK41 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the MK41 6 market
This is a thin market: 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the MK41 district median, MK41 6 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around MK41 6
The local authority for MK41 6 is Bedford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,168 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £796 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,800, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bedford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £285,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,168 a month (£14,016 a year) works out at a 4.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in MK: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the MK area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £367,500 | £495,000 (+35%) | £675,000 (+36%) | £910,000 (+35%) |
| Semi-detached | £270,000 | £320,000 (+19%) | £375,000 (+17%) | £470,000 (+25%) | £630,000 (+34%) |

| Flat | £160,000 | £225,000 (+41%) | £307,500 (+37%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
