23 HOWARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 23 HOWARD CLOSE sales between September 1996 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 November 2002 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 23 HOWARD CLOSE be worth now?

23 HOWARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £321,063.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.8%, between May 2017 and April 2026, for terraced 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 33.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 HOWARD CLOSE of £240,000 on 5th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £321,063 over the nine years and one month to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 HOWARD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Bedford local authority area.
