7 CLARIDGE 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 7 CLARIDGE CLOSE sales between September 2003 and April 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 December 2016 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 7 CLARIDGE CLOSE be worth now?

7 CLARIDGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £418,290.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.3%, between April 2024 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 7.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 CLARIDGE CLOSE of £390,000 on 26th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £418,290 over the four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 CLARIDGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
