97 ALDER CRESCENT 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 two 97 ALDER CRESCENT sales from April 1995 and August 1997 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 1995 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the August 1997 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 97 ALDER CRESCENT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 504.5%, between August 1997 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 504.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 97 ALDER CRESCENT of £52,995 on 1st August 1997. For the value to have increased from £52,995 to £320,330 over the 26 years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
