12 VICARAGE 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 five 12 VICARAGE CLOSE sales between July 1997 and February 2016 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 2008 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 12 VICARAGE CLOSE be worth now?

12 VICARAGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £404,580.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.7%, between February 2016 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 40.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 VICARAGE CLOSE of £287,500 on 15th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £287,500 to £404,580 over the nine years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 VICARAGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £287,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
