8 PRUDDEN 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 four 8 PRUDDEN CLOSE sales between December 2006 and May 2020 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 December 2017 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, which was also at 21% below the HPI.

What might 8 PRUDDEN CLOSE be worth now?

The 21.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 PRUDDEN CLOSE of £215,000 on 20th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £215,000 to £262,150 over the five years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
