243 ELMERS GREEN LANE 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 243 ELMERS GREEN LANE sales from October 1996 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 1996 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 243 ELMERS GREEN LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 41.9%, between April 2016 and December 2024, 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).
