36 MERTON GROVE 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 36 MERTON GROVE sales from January 2012 and July 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 January 2012 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 36 MERTON GROVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 43.9%, between July 2015 and February 2025, 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 43.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 36 MERTON GROVE of £252,500 on 2nd July 2015. For the value to have increased from £252,500 to £363,378 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
