5 MARDLE 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 three 5 MARDLE CLOSE sales between May 1997 and March 2015 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 January 2010 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 5 MARDLE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 54.7%, between March 2015 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 54.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MARDLE CLOSE of £522,500 on 12th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £522,500 to £808,435 over the eight years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
