4 COTTON SQUARE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Lancaster local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 COTTON SQUARE sales from November 2019 and November 2019 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 November 2019 sale was for 97% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 97% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might 4 COTTON SQUARE be worth now?

4 COTTON SQUARE might now be worth an estimated £279,206.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.6%, between November 2019 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Lancaster local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 COTTON SQUARE of £215,500 on 22nd November 2019. For the value to have increased from £215,500 to £279,206 over the six years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
