77 MERCURY WAY 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 77 MERCURY WAY sales between July 2003 and July 2016 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 May 2010 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might 77 MERCURY WAY be worth now?

77 MERCURY WAY might now be worth an estimated £220,955.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.1%, between July 2016 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 38.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 77 MERCURY WAY of £160,000 on 22nd July 2016. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £220,955 over the seven years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 77 MERCURY WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The July 2016 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
