136 BENSON 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 four 136 BENSON CLOSE sales between March 2000 and July 2013 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 October 2005 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI.
