7 GIBBARDS 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 7 GIBBARDS CLOSE sales from August 2007 and August 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 August 2007 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 7 GIBBARDS CLOSE be worth now?

7 GIBBARDS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £458,242.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.9%, between August 2016 and December 2024, 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 30.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 GIBBARDS CLOSE of £350,000 on 12th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £458,242 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
