16 CASTLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 CASTLE CLOSE sales from September 1998 and August 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 1998 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might 16 CASTLE CLOSE be worth now?

16 CASTLE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £610,166.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.7%, between August 2010 and March 2025, for semi-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 93.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 CASTLE CLOSE of £315,000 on 19th August 2010. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £610,166 over the fifteen years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
