18 BLACKBIRD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 BLACKBIRD CLOSE sales from December 2008 and November 2015 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 December 2008 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 18 BLACKBIRD CLOSE be worth now?

18 BLACKBIRD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £314,612.

This is based on house price inflation of 43%, between November 2015 and March 2026, for terraced 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 43% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 BLACKBIRD CLOSE of £220,000 on 12th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £314,612 over the eleven years and eight months to March 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 BLACKBIRD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
