11 THORPE 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 four 11 THORPE CLOSE sales between December 1996 and October 2018 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 September 2006 sale was for 70% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 70% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.

What might 11 THORPE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.7%, between October 2018 and December 2024, 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 17.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 11 THORPE CLOSE of £900,000 on 19th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £900,000 to £1,059,279 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 11 THORPE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
