The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 56 WICKSTEAD AVENUE sales between April 2001 and January 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 November 2001 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
