17 VILLAGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 VILLAGE CLOSE sales from May 2000 and October 2000 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 May 2000 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the October 2000 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 17 VILLAGE CLOSE be worth now?

The 255.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 VILLAGE CLOSE of £65,950 on 18th October 2000. For the value to have increased from £65,950 to £234,351 over the 25 years and seven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
