142 ROCHFORD 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 five 142 ROCHFORD DRIVE sales between January 2002 and March 2018 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 2014 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 142 ROCHFORD DRIVE be worth now?
