2 THORNTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 THORNTON CLOSE sales from September 2003 and April 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 September 2003 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 2 THORNTON CLOSE be worth now?

2 THORNTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £340,345.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.3%, between April 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Lancashire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 51.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THORNTON CLOSE of £225,000 on 12th April 2012. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £340,345 over the thirteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THORNTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The April 2012 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
