1 KINGSDOWN AVENUE 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 three 1 KINGSDOWN AVENUE sales between June 2002 and November 2020 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 2014 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 1 KINGSDOWN AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.3%, between November 2020 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 17.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 KINGSDOWN AVENUE of £185,000 on 6th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £217,050 over the five years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
