28 AVOCET 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 three 28 AVOCET CLOSE sales between November 1996 and February 2013 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 July 1999 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 28 AVOCET CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 89.4%, between February 2013 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 89.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 AVOCET CLOSE of £195,000 on 28th February 2013. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £369,366 over the ten years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
