5 APPLEY CLOSE 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 two 5 APPLEY CLOSE sales from May 1997 and December 2013 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 May 1997 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 5 APPLEY CLOSE be worth now?

5 APPLEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £473,072.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.1%, between December 2013 and December 2024, 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).

The 55.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 APPLEY CLOSE of £305,000 on 12th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £473,072 over the eleven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
