23 HENLEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 23 HENLEY CLOSE sales between October 1995 and March 2021 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 August 2002 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 23 HENLEY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.8%, between March 2021 and June 2025, for semi-detached 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 20.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 HENLEY CLOSE of £242,000 on 19th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £242,000 to £292,387 over the three years and nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 HENLEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £242,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
