5 MELROSE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Knowsley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 MELROSE ROAD sales from November 1997 and April 2011 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 1997 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 5 MELROSE ROAD be worth now?

5 MELROSE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £246,488.

This is based on house price inflation of 70%, between April 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Knowsley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 70% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MELROSE ROAD of £145,000 on 18th April 2011. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £246,488 over the twelve years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 MELROSE ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Knowsley local authority area.
• The April 2011 sale price of £145,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 MELROSE ROAD has not materially changed since April 2011.
