23 CLIFFORD 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 23 CLIFFORD CLOSE sales from November 2014 and October 2016 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 November 2014 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 23 CLIFFORD CLOSE be worth now?

23 CLIFFORD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £410,902.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.1%, between October 2016 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 32.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 CLIFFORD CLOSE of £311,000 on 7th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £311,000 to £410,902 over the nine years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
