4 WILLIAM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 WILLIAM CLOSE sales from December 2018 and November 2021 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 December 2018 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 4 WILLIAM CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 9.2%, between November 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
