6 THISTLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 THISTLE CLOSE sales from January 1996 and March 2012 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 January 1996 sale was for 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it falls to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.

What might 6 THISTLE CLOSE be worth now?

6 THISTLE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £455,093.

This is based on house price inflation of 46.8%, between March 2012 and December 2024, for 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 46.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 THISTLE CLOSE of £310,000 on 15th March 2012. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £455,093 over the eleven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 THISTLE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The March 2012 sale price of £310,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 6 THISTLE CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2012.
