31 WEST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lancaster local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 WEST DRIVE sales from January 2004 and July 2023 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 January 2004 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 31 WEST DRIVE be worth now?

The 1.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 WEST DRIVE of £215,000 on 21st July 2023. For the value to have increased from £215,000 to £218,072 over the two years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
