61 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 three 61 LORIMER CLOSE sales between December 1996 and January 2019 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 2006 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
