188 SELBOURNE ROAD 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 188 SELBOURNE ROAD sales from January 2009 and February 2010 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 2009 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 188 SELBOURNE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 101.7%, between February 2010 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 101.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 188 SELBOURNE ROAD of £135,000 on 16th February 2010. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £272,239 over the thirteen years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
