2 SHENLEY 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 four 2 SHENLEY CLOSE sales between March 1996 and July 2005 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 August 2000 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 2 SHENLEY CLOSE be worth now?

2 SHENLEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £746,821.

This is based on house price inflation of 101.8%, between July 2005 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 101.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SHENLEY CLOSE of £370,000 on 22nd July 2005. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £746,821 over the eighteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 SHENLEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2005 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 SHENLEY CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2005.
