136 MERCURY WAY 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 six 136 MERCURY WAY sales between October 2003 and January 2010 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 2009 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might 136 MERCURY WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 51.8%, between January 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the West Lancashire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 51.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 136 MERCURY WAY of £125,000 on 6th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £125,000 to £189,759 over the thirteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 136 MERCURY WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The January 2010 sale price of £125,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
