The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sefton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 BUCKINGHAM GROVE sales from May 2012 and January 2015 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 May 2012 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
3 BUCKINGHAM GROVE might now be worth an estimated £466,412.
This is based on house price inflation of 66.6%, between January 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Sefton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 66.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BUCKINGHAM GROVE of £280,000 on 16th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £466,412 over the eight years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
