21 WHITWELL CLOSE 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 21 WHITWELL CLOSE sales from February 2002 and November 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the February 2002 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI.
