8 ABBEYWOOD 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 two 8 ABBEYWOOD sales from June 1996 and September 2000 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 June 1996 sale was for 72% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% below the HPI over time, until the September 2000 sale, where it falls to 86% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 86% below the HPI.

What might 8 ABBEYWOOD be worth now?

8 ABBEYWOOD might now be worth an estimated £51,100.

This is based on house price inflation of 229.7%, between September 2000 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 229.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ABBEYWOOD of £15,500 on 20th September 2000. For the value to have increased from £15,500 to £51,100 over the 23 years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ABBEYWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The September 2000 sale price of £15,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 ABBEYWOOD has not materially changed since September 2000.
