3 MELFORD DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 MELFORD DRIVE sales between March 1996 and December 2011 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 2000 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 3 MELFORD DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 64.3%, between December 2011 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Halton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 64.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MELFORD DRIVE of £139,950 on 16th December 2011. For the value to have increased from £139,950 to £229,929 over the fourteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
