18 COTTAGE GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 COTTAGE GARDENS sales from July 2001 and October 2012 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 July 2001 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 18 COTTAGE GARDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 59.6%, between October 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Ribble local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 COTTAGE GARDENS of £157,500 on 5th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £157,500 to £251,322 over the eleven years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
