4 VILLAGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 VILLAGE CLOSE sales between May 2000 and April 2018 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 March 2004 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 4 VILLAGE CLOSE be worth now?

4 VILLAGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £171,706.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.4%, between April 2018 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Lancashire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 37.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 VILLAGE CLOSE of £125,000 on 30th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £125,000 to £171,706 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 VILLAGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
