18 WOOTTON 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 two 18 WOOTTON CLOSE sales from August 2002 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 August 2002 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 18 WOOTTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 34.4%, between May 2016 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 34.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 WOOTTON CLOSE of £285,000 on 27th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £383,175 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
