5 DALBY CLOSE 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 three 5 DALBY CLOSE sales between February 1999 and April 2018 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 May 2008 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 5 DALBY CLOSE be worth now?

5 DALBY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £308,023.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.6%, between April 2018 and February 2025, 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 17.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 DALBY CLOSE of £262,000 on 25th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £262,000 to £308,023 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 DALBY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £262,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
