7 LORTON 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 7 LORTON CLOSE sales from February 2001 and October 2004 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 February 2001 sale was for 58% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% below the HPI over time, until the October 2004 sale, where it falls to 62% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% below the HPI.

What might 7 LORTON CLOSE be worth now?

7 LORTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £105,843.

This is based on house price inflation of 68%, between October 2004 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 68% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 LORTON CLOSE of £63,000 on 29th October 2004. For the value to have increased from £63,000 to £105,843 over the nineteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 LORTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.

• The size, condition, and specification of 7 LORTON CLOSE has not materially changed since October 2004.
