46 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 two 46 MERCURY WAY sales from November 2002 and November 2005 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 November 2002 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, which was also at 13% below the HPI.

What might 46 MERCURY WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 68.2%, between November 2005 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 68.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 46 MERCURY WAY of £116,500 on 18th November 2005. For the value to have increased from £116,500 to £195,984 over the eighteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
