8 WHITCHURCH 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 two 8 WHITCHURCH CLOSE sales from August 2004 and January 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 August 2004 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI.
