8 HELFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Knowsley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 HELFORD CLOSE sales between November 1996 and May 2020 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 August 2003 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 8 HELFORD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 44.7%, between May 2020 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Knowsley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 44.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 HELFORD CLOSE of £145,000 on 7th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £209,818 over the five years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
