1 DITCHLING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-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 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, which was also at 16% above the HPI.

What might 1 DITCHLING CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.8%, between May 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Luton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 DITCHLING CLOSE of £368,000 on 31st May 2023. For the value to have increased from £368,000 to £374,653 over the two years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
