25 HOME 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 three 25 HOME CLOSE sales between October 1998 and July 2017 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 January 2010 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 25 HOME CLOSE be worth now?

25 HOME CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £482,090.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.9%, between July 2017 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 23.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 25 HOME CLOSE of £389,000 on 28th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £389,000 to £482,090 over the eight years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 25 HOME CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £389,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 25 HOME CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2017.
