3 WIDECOMBE 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 two 3 WIDECOMBE CLOSE sales from October 2008 and September 2023 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 October 2008 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might 3 WIDECOMBE CLOSE be worth now?
