1 DITCHLING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 DITCHLING CLOSE sales from May 2011 and May 2023 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 May 2011 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
