11 ELGER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 11 ELGER CLOSE sales between April 1995 and April 2020 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 November 1999 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the April 2020 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 11 ELGER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18.8%, between April 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 11 ELGER CLOSE of £580,000 on 3rd April 2020. For the value to have increased from £580,000 to £689,026 over the five years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
