4 BLACK HAT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 4 BLACK HAT CLOSE sales between August 1996 and August 2024 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 2016 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 4 BLACK HAT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 5.4%, between August 2024 and April 2026, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
