7 THORPE 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 four 7 THORPE CLOSE sales between November 1996 and November 2013 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 2005 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might 7 THORPE CLOSE be worth now?

7 THORPE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £814,027.

This is based on house price inflation of 76%, between November 2013 and June 2025, 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).

The 76% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THORPE CLOSE of £462,500 on 28th November 2013. For the value to have increased from £462,500 to £814,027 over the twelve years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THORPE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The November 2013 sale price of £462,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 THORPE CLOSE has not materially changed since November 2013.
