173 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE 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 four 173 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE sales between March 1995 and December 2021 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 October 2014 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 173 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 5.2%, between December 2021 and October 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 5.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 173 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE of £360,000 on 17th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £378,612 over the four years and two months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
