28 LONGFELLOW CLOSE 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 28 LONGFELLOW CLOSE sales from December 2003 and May 2008 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 December 2003 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the May 2008 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 28 LONGFELLOW CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 50.4%, between May 2008 and February 2025, 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 50.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 LONGFELLOW CLOSE of £190,000 on 16th May 2008. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £285,800 over the seventeen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
