1 HOLDEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 HOLDEN CLOSE sales between November 1996 and August 2005 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 October 1998 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 1 HOLDEN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 100.7%, between August 2005 and June 2025, for 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 100.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 HOLDEN CLOSE of £299,995 on 1st August 2005. For the value to have increased from £299,995 to £602,020 over the twenty years and two months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
