5 MELBRECK 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 three 5 MELBRECK sales between August 2004 and August 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 May 2006 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 5 MELBRECK be worth now?

5 MELBRECK might now be worth an estimated £221,171.

This is based on house price inflation of 9%, between August 2023 and March 2025, 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 9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MELBRECK of £203,000 on 25th August 2023. For the value to have increased from £203,000 to £221,171 over the two years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 MELBRECK has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £203,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 MELBRECK has not materially changed since August 2023.
