4 BEDFORD 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 four 4 BEDFORD CLOSE sales between February 1995 and August 2024 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 2013 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 4 BEDFORD CLOSE be worth now?
