5 POPLAR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 POPLAR CLOSE sales between August 2017 and February 2022 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 February 2021 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 5 POPLAR CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 13.7%, between February 2022 and February 2025, for semi-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 13.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 POPLAR CLOSE of £340,000 on 4th February 2022. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £386,521 over the three years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 POPLAR CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
