5 MAIDEN 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 three 5 MAIDEN CLOSE sales between April 2002 and May 2016 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 2011 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might 5 MAIDEN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 42.3%, between May 2016 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 42.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MAIDEN CLOSE of £139,999 on 4th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £139,999 to £199,278 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
