32 HANDCROSS ROAD 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 32 HANDCROSS ROAD sales from December 1996 and November 2012 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 1996 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 32 HANDCROSS ROAD be worth now?

32 HANDCROSS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £364,439.

This is based on house price inflation of 97%, between November 2012 and April 2026, 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 97% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 HANDCROSS ROAD of £185,000 on 9th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £364,439 over the fourteen years and seven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
