128 HANDCROSS ROAD 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 128 HANDCROSS ROAD sales from January 2004 and November 2004 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 January 2004 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 128 HANDCROSS ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 103.7%, between November 2004 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 103.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 128 HANDCROSS ROAD of £123,000 on 23rd November 2004. For the value to have increased from £123,000 to £250,515 over the 21 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
