3 MAIDEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 MAIDEN CLOSE sales between April 2002 and February 2018 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 April 2015 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 3 MAIDEN CLOSE be worth now?

3 MAIDEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £172,003.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.6%, between February 2018 and December 2024, for semi-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 37.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MAIDEN CLOSE of £125,000 on 28th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £125,000 to £172,003 over the five years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 MAIDEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The February 2018 sale price of £125,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 MAIDEN CLOSE has not materially changed since February 2018.
