17 LEATHWAITE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 17 LEATHWAITE sales between August 2005 and November 2024 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 February 2023 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.

What might 17 LEATHWAITE be worth now?

17 LEATHWAITE might now be worth an estimated £247,189.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.9%, between November 2024 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 LEATHWAITE of £245,000 on 29th November 2024. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £247,189 over the eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 LEATHWAITE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The November 2024 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
