22 WOODMAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 22 WOODMAN CLOSE sales from April 1997 and August 2020 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 1997 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 22 WOODMAN CLOSE be worth now?

22 WOODMAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £303,124.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.2%, between August 2020 and February 2025, for semi-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 21.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 WOODMAN CLOSE of £250,000 on 18th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £303,124 over the five years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 22 WOODMAN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2020 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
