22 BIRCHS 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 22 BIRCHS CLOSE sales from April 2022 and February 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 April 2022 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the February 2025 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 22 BIRCHS CLOSE be worth now?

22 BIRCHS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £335,199.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.6%, between February 2025 and June 2025, 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 1.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 BIRCHS CLOSE of £330,000 on 14th February 2025. For the value to have increased from £330,000 to £335,199 over the eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 22 BIRCHS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2025 sale price of £330,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
