40 LORIMER 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 five 40 LORIMER CLOSE sales between November 1996 and March 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 March 2013 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
