30 KIRBY 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 five 30 KIRBY DRIVE sales between September 1995 and September 2016 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 February 2008 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 30 KIRBY DRIVE be worth now?

30 KIRBY DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £337,999.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.5%, between September 2016 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 27.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 30 KIRBY DRIVE of £265,000 on 23rd September 2016. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £337,999 over the seven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 30 KIRBY DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The September 2016 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 30 KIRBY DRIVE has not materially changed since September 2016.
