In cash terms the typical MK41 9 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 176%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 15% 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 9 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 (+25.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in MK41 9
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
MK41 9 recorded 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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.
The shape of the MK41 9 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes MK41 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around MK41 9
The local authority for MK41 9 is Bedford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,168 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £796 a month here against £1,800 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £360,000 median sold price, £1,168 a month is £14,016 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
