12 SUNSET DRIVE 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 12 SUNSET DRIVE sales from September 1998 and October 2015 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 September 1998 sale was for 140% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 140% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might 12 SUNSET DRIVE be worth now?

12 SUNSET DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £763,073.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.3%, between October 2015 and February 2025, for 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 41.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 SUNSET DRIVE of £540,000 on 16th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £763,073 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 SUNSET DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £540,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
