18 PHOENIX 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 two 18 PHOENIX CLOSE sales from September 2001 and February 2013 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 2001 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 18 PHOENIX CLOSE be worth now?

18 PHOENIX CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £501,959.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.4%, between February 2013 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 89.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 PHOENIX CLOSE of £265,000 on 14th February 2013. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £501,959 over the ten years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 PHOENIX CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2013 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
