4 MEADOWCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 MEADOWCROFT sales from June 1998 and January 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 June 1998 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 4 MEADOWCROFT be worth now?
