8 HILL 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 8 HILL CLOSE sales between November 2000 and June 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 July 2011 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 8 HILL CLOSE be worth now?

8 HILL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £469,961.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.1%, between June 2018 and December 2024, for 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 17.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 HILL CLOSE of £401,500 on 22nd June 2018. For the value to have increased from £401,500 to £469,961 over the five years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 HILL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
