20 TIPCAT 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 four 20 TIPCAT CLOSE sales between May 1995 and May 2017 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 April 2007 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 20 TIPCAT CLOSE be worth now?

20 TIPCAT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £308,046.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.4%, between May 2017 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 28.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 TIPCAT CLOSE of £240,000 on 12th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £308,046 over the seven years and eleven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 TIPCAT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
