12 SATURN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 SATURN CLOSE sales between May 1998 and October 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 2002 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 12 SATURN CLOSE be worth now?

12 SATURN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £407,089.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.7%, between October 2020 and February 2025, for 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 19.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 SATURN CLOSE of £340,000 on 22nd October 2020. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £407,089 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 SATURN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
