1 PREECE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 PREECE CLOSE sales between April 1997 and May 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 August 1999 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 1 PREECE CLOSE be worth now?

1 PREECE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £301,912.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.6%, between May 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Halton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 77.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 PREECE CLOSE of £170,000 on 25th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £301,912 over the thirteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 PREECE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Halton local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 PREECE CLOSE has not materially changed since May 2012.
