7 HARDWICK 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 HARDWICK CLOSE sales between November 1997 and January 2022 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 May 2014 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 7 HARDWICK CLOSE be worth now?

7 HARDWICK CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £501,612.

This is based on house price inflation of 14%, between January 2022 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 14% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 HARDWICK CLOSE of £440,000 on 28th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £501,612 over the two years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 HARDWICK CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £440,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
