26 CARNEGIE GARDENS 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 three 26 CARNEGIE GARDENS sales between July 1997 and March 2014 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 November 2001 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 26 CARNEGIE GARDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 81.6%, between March 2014 and December 2024, for 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 81.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 CARNEGIE GARDENS of £247,000 on 31st March 2014. For the value to have increased from £247,000 to £448,649 over the nine years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
