12 FIR TREE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 FIR TREE CLOSE sales from October 2000 and April 2004 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 2000 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 12 FIR TREE CLOSE be worth now?

The 103.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 FIR TREE CLOSE of £152,000 on 30th April 2004. For the value to have increased from £152,000 to £309,660 over the nineteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
