25 MERCURY WAY 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 25 MERCURY WAY sales from July 2002 and July 2014 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 July 2002 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 25 MERCURY WAY be worth now?

25 MERCURY WAY might now be worth an estimated £261,318.

This is based on house price inflation of 53.7%, between July 2014 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).

The 53.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 25 MERCURY WAY of £170,000 on 4th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £261,318 over the nine years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 25 MERCURY WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 25 MERCURY WAY has not materially changed since July 2014.
