43 MERCURY WAY 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 43 MERCURY WAY sales between July 2002 and January 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 October 2013 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, which was also at 31% below the HPI.

What might 43 MERCURY WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 12.3%, between January 2023 and December 2024, 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 12.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 43 MERCURY WAY of £140,000 on 20th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £157,159 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
