What might 8 THE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 1.2%, between November 2025 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 1.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE CLOSE of £365,000 on 18th November 2025. For the value to have decreased from £365,000 to £360,593 over the one year and seven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
