2 THORPE 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 2 THORPE CLOSE sales between March 1997 and March 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 October 2009 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it falls to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might 2 THORPE CLOSE be worth now?

2 THORPE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £851,887.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.2%, between March 2025 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 0.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THORPE CLOSE of £850,000 on 19th March 2025. For the value to have increased from £850,000 to £851,887 over the nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THORPE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The March 2025 sale price of £850,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THORPE CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2025.
