7 ROCK 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 two 7 ROCK CLOSE sales from August 2004 and November 2017 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 2004 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 7 ROCK CLOSE be worth now?

7 ROCK CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £682,963.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.7%, between November 2017 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 18.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 ROCK CLOSE of £575,500 on 16th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £575,500 to £682,963 over the six years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 ROCK CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £575,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
