24 POLEGATE 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 24 POLEGATE sales from January 2000 and April 2017 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 2000 sale was for 62% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
