8 HOME 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 8 HOME CLOSE sales between June 2001 and July 2015 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 June 2007 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 8 HOME CLOSE be worth now?

8 HOME CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £409,812.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.1%, between July 2015 and February 2025, 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 54.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 HOME CLOSE of £265,950 on 31st July 2015. For the value to have increased from £265,950 to £409,812 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 HOME CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The July 2015 sale price of £265,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 HOME CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2015.
