13 WHITWELL CLOSE 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 three 13 WHITWELL CLOSE sales between October 2001 and September 2022 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 December 2013 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI.
