2 OSBERT CROFT 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 2 OSBERT CROFT sales from October 2015 and April 2016 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 October 2015 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 2 OSBERT CROFT be worth now?

2 OSBERT CROFT might now be worth an estimated £324,216.

This is based on house price inflation of 42.2%, between April 2016 and February 2025, 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 42.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 OSBERT CROFT of £228,000 on 15th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £228,000 to £324,216 over the nine years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 OSBERT CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £228,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 OSBERT CROFT has not materially changed since April 2016.
