49 ARMSTRONG 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 49 ARMSTRONG CLOSE sales from August 1996 and September 2009 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 August 1996 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 49 ARMSTRONG CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 100.1%, between September 2009 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).

The 100.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 49 ARMSTRONG CLOSE of £227,000 on 10th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £227,000 to £454,216 over the sixteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
