18 LEYHILL DRIVE 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 18 LEYHILL DRIVE sales between December 1997 and May 2020 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 October 2019 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 18 LEYHILL DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 21.8%, between May 2020 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 21.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 LEYHILL DRIVE of £282,500 on 26th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £282,500 to £343,982 over the three years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
