1 CARTER 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 six 1 CARTER CLOSE sales between February 2000 and October 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 February 2016 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 1 CARTER CLOSE be worth now?

1 CARTER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £347,130.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.1%, between October 2023 and June 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 2.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 CARTER CLOSE of £340,000 on 11th October 2023. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £347,130 over the two years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 CARTER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The October 2023 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 CARTER CLOSE has not materially changed since October 2023.
