How Chapel Field, Bedford prices moved

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Chapel Field, Bedford is £210,000 in 2018; the lowest is £39,000 in 1996. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £39,225 to £210,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £87,098, so the real change over the whole record is +221.3% — about +5.21% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.

Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +58.5% in cash against +15.9% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Ownership and new build in Chapel Field, Bedford

A further 3 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Section 09

How Chapel Field, Bedford compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Chapel Field, Bedford sits below that national figure — -15.6%.

Within Bedford the street ranks 2142 of 2640 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £185,000 (-28.1%).

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.

The full range on record runs from £34,000 to £315,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

When were Chapel Field, Bedford house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £210,000, set in 2018. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
