9 WHITTINGHAM CLOSE 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 9 WHITTINGHAM CLOSE sales between November 2003 and November 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 June 2005 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, which was also at 10% above the HPI.

What might 9 WHITTINGHAM CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.6%, between November 2018 and February 2025, 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 17.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 WHITTINGHAM CLOSE of £300,000 on 16th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £352,868 over the seven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
