16 OAK 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 five 16 OAK CLOSE sales between December 1995 and January 2014 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 April 2008 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 16 OAK CLOSE be worth now?

16 OAK CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £502,914.

This is based on house price inflation of 78%, between January 2014 and December 2024, 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 78% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 OAK CLOSE of £282,500 on 13th January 2014. For the value to have increased from £282,500 to £502,914 over the nine years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 OAK CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
