8 BROOK 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 BROOK CLOSE sales from February 2002 and February 2018 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 February 2002 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might 8 BROOK CLOSE be worth now?

8 BROOK CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £350,123.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.7%, between February 2018 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 16.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BROOK CLOSE of £300,000 on 15th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £350,123 over the five years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 BROOK CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
