13 FRESHWATER 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 13 FRESHWATER CLOSE sales from April 2006 and October 2012 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 April 2006 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 13 FRESHWATER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 98.5%, between October 2012 and December 2024, 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 98.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 FRESHWATER CLOSE of £200,000 on 15th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £396,949 over the eleven years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
