In cash terms the typical MK41 7 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £347,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 220%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the MK41 7 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 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What MK41 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 60 sales completed in MK41 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 250 sales a year before the financial crisis and 127 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around MK41 7
For renting purposes MK41 7 sits in Bedford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,168 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £796 a month here against £1,800 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bedford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £347,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,168 a month (£14,016 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
