30 BISHOP 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 three 30 BISHOP CLOSE sales between August 2000 and September 2020 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 June 2016 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 30 BISHOP CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.1%, between September 2020 and April 2026, 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 20.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 30 BISHOP CLOSE of £260,000 on 25th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £312,385 over the six years and five months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 30 BISHOP CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
