178 COWPER STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 178 COWPER STREET sales between November 1996 and December 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 December 2017 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
