7 SPARROW 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 7 SPARROW CLOSE sales between April 1995 and January 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 November 2005 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 7 SPARROW CLOSE be worth now?

7 SPARROW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £258,650.

This is based on house price inflation of 97.4%, between January 2013 and July 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 97.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 SPARROW CLOSE of £131,000 on 4th January 2013. For the value to have increased from £131,000 to £258,650 over the twelve years and six months to July 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 SPARROW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
• The January 2013 sale price of £131,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
