15 POPPY 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 three 15 POPPY CLOSE sales between December 2003 and June 2008 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 March 2005 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the June 2008 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 15 POPPY CLOSE be worth now?

15 POPPY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £342,211.

This is based on house price inflation of 81.5%, between June 2008 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 81.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 POPPY CLOSE of £188,500 on 20th June 2008. For the value to have increased from £188,500 to £342,211 over the fifteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 POPPY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The June 2008 sale price of £188,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
