198 BARTON ROAD 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 two 198 BARTON ROAD sales from October 2007 and April 2022 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 2007 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might 198 BARTON ROAD be worth now?
