15 SOMERSET AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Ribble Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 SOMERSET AVENUE sales from March 2016 and February 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 March 2016 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might 15 SOMERSET AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 24.7%, between February 2020 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Ribble Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 SOMERSET AVENUE of £298,000 on 28th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £298,000 to £371,514 over the three years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
