6 CHAPMAN 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 6 CHAPMAN CLOSE sales from April 2010 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 April 2010 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 6 CHAPMAN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2.2%, between July 2024 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).

The 2.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 CHAPMAN CLOSE of £330,000 on 15th July 2024. For the value to have increased from £330,000 to £337,100 over the one year and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
