12 WIDECOMBE 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 two 12 WIDECOMBE CLOSE sales from November 1997 and May 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 November 1997 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 12 WIDECOMBE CLOSE be worth now?

The 18% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 WIDECOMBE CLOSE of £331,500 on 2nd May 2018. For the value to have increased from £331,500 to £391,061 over the seven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
