24 GOLDCREST 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 four 24 GOLDCREST CLOSE sales between November 1997 and February 2023 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 November 2016 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 24 GOLDCREST CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 1.3%, between February 2023 and June 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 1.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 24 GOLDCREST CLOSE of £325,000 on 9th February 2023. For the value to have decreased from £325,000 to £320,850 over the one year and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 24 GOLDCREST CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The February 2023 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
