6 BISHOP 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 five 6 BISHOP CLOSE sales between October 2000 and December 2017 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 2011 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, which was also at 49% below the HPI.

What might 6 BISHOP CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18.2%, between December 2017 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 18.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 BISHOP CLOSE of £265,000 on 19th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £313,309 over the seven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 BISHOP CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
