20 JOYCE 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 two 20 JOYCE CLOSE sales from February 2013 and September 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 February 2013 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 20 JOYCE CLOSE be worth now?

20 JOYCE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £324,763.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.5%, between September 2014 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 66.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 JOYCE CLOSE of £195,000 on 19th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £324,763 over the eleven years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 JOYCE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £195,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
