7 VILLAGE CLOSE 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 three 7 VILLAGE CLOSE sales between October 2000 and November 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 February 2007 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might 7 VILLAGE CLOSE be worth now?

7 VILLAGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £230,701.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.2%, between November 2019 and December 2024, for 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 28.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 VILLAGE CLOSE of £180,000 on 27th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £230,701 over the four years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 VILLAGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £180,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 VILLAGE CLOSE has not materially changed since November 2019.
