7 WESTWOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 WESTWOOD CLOSE sales between December 2001 and August 2019 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 2005 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 7 WESTWOOD CLOSE be worth now?

7 WESTWOOD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £262,537.

This is based on house price inflation of 25%, between August 2019 and December 2024, for semi-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 25% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 WESTWOOD CLOSE of £210,000 on 22nd August 2019. For the value to have increased from £210,000 to £262,537 over the four years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 WESTWOOD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £210,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
