5 AVOCET CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 AVOCET CLOSE sales from June 1996 and June 1998 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 1996 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the June 1998 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 5 AVOCET CLOSE be worth now?

5 AVOCET CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £420,096.

This is based on house price inflation of 372%, between June 1998 and February 2025, for detached 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 372% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 AVOCET CLOSE of £88,995 on 30th June 1998. For the value to have increased from £88,995 to £420,096 over the 27 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 AVOCET CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The June 1998 sale price of £88,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
