8 BIRCH 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 8 BIRCH CLOSE sales from July 2015 and September 2021 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 July 2015 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 8 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18.2%, between September 2021 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 18.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BIRCH CLOSE of £360,000 on 20th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £425,545 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
