46 ORCHARD 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 two 46 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from May 1998 and December 2014 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 May 1998 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 46 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

46 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £460,180.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.5%, between December 2014 and February 2025, 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 61.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 46 ORCHARD CLOSE of £285,000 on 8th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £460,180 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 46 ORCHARD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2014 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
