1 MALCOTE 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 three 1 MALCOTE CLOSE sales between April 2001 and January 2025 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 May 2004 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 1 MALCOTE CLOSE be worth now?

1 MALCOTE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £229,890.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between January 2025 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% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 MALCOTE CLOSE of £225,375 on 17th January 2025. For the value to have increased from £225,375 to £229,890 over the seven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 MALCOTE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
