4 HUNTER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 HUNTER CLOSE sales from December 2004 and June 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 December 2004 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 4 HUNTER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 5.8%, between June 2024 and June 2025, for semi-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).
