10 LORTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 10 LORTON CLOSE sales from March 2006 and December 2015 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 March 2006 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 10 LORTON CLOSE be worth now?

The 37.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 LORTON CLOSE of £91,000 on 11th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £91,000 to £125,211 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
