3 RUFFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chorley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 RUFFORD CLOSE sales from December 2001 and February 2016 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 2001 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 3 RUFFORD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 43.5%, between February 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Chorley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 43.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 RUFFORD CLOSE of £260,000 on 5th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £372,976 over the seven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
