3 BOW LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 BOW LANE sales from August 2014 and April 2020 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 August 2014 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the April 2020 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.

What might 3 BOW LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 26.1%, between April 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Trafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BOW LANE of £845,000 on 29th April 2020. For the value to have increased from £845,000 to £1,065,685 over the three years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
