1 VULCAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 VULCAN CLOSE sales from October 2017 and January 2021 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 October 2017 sale was for 4574% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4574% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might 1 VULCAN CLOSE be worth now?

1 VULCAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £252,232.

This is based on house price inflation of 30%, between January 2021 and December 2024, for semi-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 30% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 VULCAN CLOSE of £193,995 on 7th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £193,995 to £252,232 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
