53 MEREWOOD 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 two 53 MEREWOOD sales from September 1996 and September 2024 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 September 1996 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 53 MEREWOOD be worth now?

53 MEREWOOD might now be worth an estimated £185,555.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.3%, between September 2024 and February 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 2.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 MEREWOOD of £190,000 on 23rd September 2024. For the value to have decreased from £190,000 to £185,555 over the one year and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 53 MEREWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £190,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
