40 THE CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 40 THE CREST sales between September 2003 and February 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 August 2005 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 40 THE CREST be worth now?

40 THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £337,865.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.5%, between February 2019 and December 2024, for 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 28.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 THE CREST of £263,000 on 8th February 2019. For the value to have increased from £263,000 to £337,865 over the four years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The February 2019 sale price of £263,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 40 THE CREST has not materially changed since February 2019.
