18 KESTREL WAY 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 five 18 KESTREL WAY sales between December 1996 and September 2021 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 2014 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 18 KESTREL WAY be worth now?

18 KESTREL WAY might now be worth an estimated £295,884.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.7%, between September 2021 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 11.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 KESTREL WAY of £265,000 on 22nd September 2021. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £295,884 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 KESTREL WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
