716 HITCHIN ROAD 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 716 HITCHIN ROAD sales between November 1997 and March 2017 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 1999 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 84% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% above the HPI.

What might 716 HITCHIN ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 25.6%, between March 2017 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 25.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 716 HITCHIN ROAD of £477,500 on 3rd March 2017. For the value to have increased from £477,500 to £599,617 over the six years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
