4 WILCOVE 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 three 4 WILCOVE sales between July 2000 and August 2021 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 September 2015 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 4 WILCOVE be worth now?

4 WILCOVE might now be worth an estimated £318,485.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.5%, between August 2021 and December 2024, for 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 22.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 WILCOVE of £260,000 on 11th August 2021. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £318,485 over the two years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 WILCOVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The August 2021 sale price of £260,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 WILCOVE has not materially changed since August 2021.
