8 SIGNAL 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 SIGNAL CLOSE sales from January 2003 and September 2007 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 January 2003 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the September 2007 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 8 SIGNAL CLOSE be worth now?

8 SIGNAL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £514,512.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.6%, between September 2007 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 75.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 SIGNAL CLOSE of £293,000 on 10th September 2007. For the value to have increased from £293,000 to £514,512 over the sixteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 SIGNAL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2007 sale price of £293,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 SIGNAL CLOSE has not materially changed since September 2007.
