5 HUNTER 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 5 HUNTER CLOSE sales from April 2003 and January 2007 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 April 2003 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the January 2007 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 5 HUNTER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 87.2%, between January 2007 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).
