HART HILL CREST 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 HART HILL CREST sales between June 1996 and December 2013 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 1997 sale was for 110% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 110% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might HART HILL CREST be worth now?

HART HILL CREST might now be worth an estimated £738,134.

This is based on house price inflation of 84.5%, between December 2013 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 84.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HART HILL CREST of £400,000 on 19th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £738,134 over the eleven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

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

• The size, condition, and specification of HART HILL CREST has not materially changed since December 2013.
