8 CROFT HEY 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 8 CROFT HEY sales between August 2004 and December 2024 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 September 2021 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 8 CROFT HEY be worth now?

8 CROFT HEY might now be worth an estimated £427,743.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.5%, between December 2024 and February 2025, 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 0.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 CROFT HEY of £430,000 on 6th December 2024. For the value to have decreased from £430,000 to £427,743 over the one year and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 CROFT HEY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The December 2024 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
