4 POUND 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 4 POUND CLOSE sales between June 2001 and August 2022 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 October 2004 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 4 POUND CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.6%, between August 2022 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 4.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 POUND CLOSE of £495,000 on 4th August 2022. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £517,906 over the one year and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
