56 MELBRECK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 56 MELBRECK sales between March 2002 and July 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 June 2012 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 54% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% below the HPI.

What might 56 MELBRECK be worth now?

56 MELBRECK might now be worth an estimated £171,408.

The 29.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 56 MELBRECK of £132,000 on 12th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £132,000 to £171,408 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
