42 KESTREL MEWS 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 42 KESTREL MEWS sales between July 1995 and September 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 April 2010 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 42 KESTREL MEWS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2.8%, between September 2023 and February 2025, 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).
