56 LORTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Rochdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 56 LORTON CLOSE sales from December 2011 and March 2014 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 December 2011 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 56 LORTON CLOSE be worth now?

56 LORTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £247,522.

The 101.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 56 LORTON CLOSE of £123,000 on 24th March 2014. For the value to have increased from £123,000 to £247,522 over the eleven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
