16 WICKMERE 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 two 16 WICKMERE CLOSE sales from September 2000 and April 2002 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 September 2000 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the April 2002 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 16 WICKMERE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 195.9%, between April 2002 and December 2024, for 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 195.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 WICKMERE CLOSE of £157,000 on 19th April 2002. For the value to have increased from £157,000 to £464,620 over the 21 years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 WICKMERE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The April 2002 sale price of £157,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
