1 TIPCAT 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 two 1 TIPCAT CLOSE sales from September 2000 and October 2010 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 September 2000 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 1 TIPCAT CLOSE be worth now?

1 TIPCAT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £339,605.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.6%, between October 2010 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 85.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 TIPCAT CLOSE of £183,000 on 8th October 2010. For the value to have increased from £183,000 to £339,605 over the fifteen years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
