5 THE CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE CREST sales from March 2001 and November 2019 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 March 2001 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 76% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 76% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE CREST be worth now?

5 THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £305,460.

This is based on house price inflation of 30%, between November 2019 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE CREST of £235,000 on 22nd November 2019. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £305,460 over the four years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE CREST has not materially changed since November 2019.
