2 BRABAZON 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 four 2 BRABAZON CLOSE sales between October 2002 and June 2021 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 October 2014 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 2 BRABAZON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 16.4%, between June 2021 and December 2024, 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 16.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BRABAZON CLOSE of £400,000 on 28th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £465,525 over the two years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
