6 SWALLOW 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 four 6 SWALLOW CLOSE sales between June 2001 and May 2016 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 October 2012 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 6 SWALLOW CLOSE be worth now?

6 SWALLOW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £523,369.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.2%, between May 2016 and February 2025, 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 34.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 SWALLOW CLOSE of £390,000 on 13th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £523,369 over the nine years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
