17 GOLDCREST 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 17 GOLDCREST CLOSE sales between April 1999 and August 2024 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 July 2001 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 17 GOLDCREST CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 3.2%, between August 2024 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 3.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 GOLDCREST CLOSE of £325,000 on 21st August 2024. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £335,374 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
