17 SKELTON 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 17 SKELTON CLOSE sales between September 1995 and May 2016 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 January 2002 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 31% above the HPI.
