The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 159 LAUNCESTON ROAD sales from June 2005 and December 2014 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 2005 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
159 LAUNCESTON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £156,086.
This is based on house price inflation of 50.8%, between December 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 50.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 LAUNCESTON ROAD of £103,500 on 5th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £103,500 to £156,086 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
