1 LEVEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 LEVEN CLOSE sales from May 2004 and February 2023 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the May 2004 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 1 LEVEN CLOSE be worth now?

1 LEVEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £445,384.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.8%, between February 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 LEVEN CLOSE of £425,000 on 6th February 2023. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £445,384 over the two years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 LEVEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2023 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
