27 HERON DRIVE 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 three 27 HERON DRIVE sales between December 1998 and July 2006 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 June 2003 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 27 HERON DRIVE be worth now?

27 HERON DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £350,001.

This is based on house price inflation of 98.9%, between July 2006 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 98.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 HERON DRIVE of £176,000 on 27th July 2006. For the value to have increased from £176,000 to £350,001 over the seventeen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 27 HERON DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The July 2006 sale price of £176,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
