The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 49 WALCOT AVENUE sales between August 2001 and October 2002 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 July 2002 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
49 WALCOT AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £338,546.
This is based on house price inflation of 166.7%, between October 2002 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 166.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 49 WALCOT AVENUE of £126,950 on 4th October 2002. For the value to have increased from £126,950 to £338,546 over the 21 years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
