78 LUTON ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 78 LUTON ROAD sales between August 1995 and September 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 April 2001 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 78 LUTON ROAD be worth now?

78 LUTON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £362,498.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.4%, between September 2019 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 78 LUTON ROAD of £289,000 on 26th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £289,000 to £362,498 over the six years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 78 LUTON ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £289,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
