15 FORSTER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Lancaster local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 FORSTER CLOSE sales from June 2017 and September 2020 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 June 2017 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might 15 FORSTER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.7%, between September 2020 and July 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Lancaster local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 FORSTER CLOSE of £208,000 on 25th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £208,000 to £255,122 over the five years and two months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
