3 THE BIRCHES 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 3 THE BIRCHES sales from August 1997 and October 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 August 1997 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 3 THE BIRCHES be worth now?

3 THE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £439,507.

This is based on house price inflation of 88.6%, between October 2006 and February 2025, 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 88.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE BIRCHES of £233,000 on 6th October 2006. For the value to have increased from £233,000 to £439,507 over the nineteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
