5C UPPERSTONE 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 5C UPPERSTONE CLOSE sales between December 2009 and July 2024 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 March 2023 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 5C UPPERSTONE CLOSE be worth now?
