21 WIDECOMBE 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 two 21 WIDECOMBE CLOSE sales from July 2012 and November 2019 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 July 2012 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 21 WIDECOMBE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.2%, between November 2019 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 22.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 WIDECOMBE CLOSE of £227,500 on 29th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £227,500 to £278,009 over the six years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
