30 SWORDER CLOSE 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 30 SWORDER CLOSE sales between August 1996 and July 2020 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 2013 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
