2 THE RIDGEWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Knowsley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 THE RIDGEWAY sales from November 2005 and March 2020 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 November 2005 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE RIDGEWAY be worth now?

2 THE RIDGEWAY might now be worth an estimated £311,164.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.5%, between March 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Knowsley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE RIDGEWAY of £223,000 on 13th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £223,000 to £311,164 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE RIDGEWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Knowsley local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £223,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
