4 GILPIN 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 4 GILPIN CLOSE sales between June 1996 and July 2014 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 2004 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might 4 GILPIN CLOSE be worth now?

4 GILPIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £185,862.

This is based on house price inflation of 63%, between July 2014 and June 2025, 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 63% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 GILPIN CLOSE of £114,000 on 18th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £114,000 to £185,862 over the eleven years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 GILPIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £114,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 GILPIN CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2014.
