8 OVERLORD 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 four 8 OVERLORD CLOSE sales between April 1998 and January 2023 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 2007 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 8 OVERLORD CLOSE be worth now?

8 OVERLORD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £507,338.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.5%, between January 2023 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 2.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 OVERLORD CLOSE of £495,000 on 26th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £507,338 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

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