14 HOWARD 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 five 14 HOWARD CLOSE sales between February 1996 and January 2015 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 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 14 HOWARD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 57.4%, between January 2015 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 57.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 HOWARD CLOSE of £287,500 on 29th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £287,500 to £452,385 over the nine years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
