21 MEREWOOD 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 21 MEREWOOD sales from September 1999 and August 2019 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 1999 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 21 MEREWOOD be worth now?

21 MEREWOOD might now be worth an estimated £235,719.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.4%, between August 2019 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 27.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 MEREWOOD of £185,000 on 29th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £235,719 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 MEREWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 21 MEREWOOD has not materially changed since August 2019.
