2 BIRKRIGG CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 BIRKRIGG CLOSE sales between October 1997 and April 2005 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 April 2001 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the April 2005 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might 2 BIRKRIGG CLOSE be worth now?

2 BIRKRIGG CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £239,814.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.3%, between April 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BIRKRIGG CLOSE of £140,000 on 22nd April 2005. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £239,814 over the twenty years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 BIRKRIGG CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The April 2005 sale price of £140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
