12 THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 12 THE CROFT sales between August 2001 and April 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 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 61% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% above the HPI.

What might 12 THE CROFT be worth now?

12 THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £310,423.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.8%, between April 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Preston local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 THE CROFT of £257,000 on 12th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £257,000 to £310,423 over the two years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 THE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Preston local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £257,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 12 THE CROFT has not materially changed since April 2021.
