59 MERCURY WAY 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 three 59 MERCURY WAY sales between July 2002 and October 2005 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 July 2004 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, which was also at 12% below the HPI.

What might 59 MERCURY WAY be worth now?

59 MERCURY WAY might now be worth an estimated £199,238.

This is based on house price inflation of 66%, between October 2005 and December 2024, 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 66% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 59 MERCURY WAY of £120,000 on 24th October 2005. For the value to have increased from £120,000 to £199,238 over the eighteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 59 MERCURY WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The October 2005 sale price of £120,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
