15 RIPON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 RIPON CLOSE sales between November 1996 and October 2011 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 January 1998 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, which was also at 20% below the HPI.

What might 15 RIPON CLOSE be worth now?

15 RIPON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £264,990.

This is based on house price inflation of 96.3%, between October 2011 and February 2025, for semi-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 96.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 RIPON CLOSE of £135,000 on 21st October 2011. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £264,990 over the fourteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 RIPON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The October 2011 sale price of £135,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
