5 ASHCRAFT 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 5 ASHCRAFT CLOSE sales between June 2002 and August 2018 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 2016 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 5 ASHCRAFT CLOSE be worth now?

5 ASHCRAFT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £667,230.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.1%, between August 2018 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 17.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ASHCRAFT CLOSE of £570,000 on 24th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £667,230 over the five years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
