4 RECTORY SQUARE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 RECTORY SQUARE sales between October 2009 and August 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 December 2021 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 4 RECTORY SQUARE be worth now?

4 RECTORY SQUARE might now be worth an estimated £172,920.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.1%, between August 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 8.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 RECTORY SQUARE of £160,000 on 18th August 2023. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £172,920 over the two years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 RECTORY SQUARE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
