43 THE FERNS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 43 THE FERNS sales from February 2006 and February 2014 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 February 2006 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 43 THE FERNS be worth now?

43 THE FERNS might now be worth an estimated £239,805.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.8%, between February 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Ribble local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 50.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 43 THE FERNS of £159,000 on 28th February 2014. For the value to have increased from £159,000 to £239,805 over the nine years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 43 THE FERNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The February 2014 sale price of £159,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 43 THE FERNS has not materially changed since February 2014.
