8 LONGCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 LONGCROFT sales from August 1996 and June 2022 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 1996 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 8 LONGCROFT be worth now?

8 LONGCROFT might now be worth an estimated £285,604.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.7%, between June 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Preston local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 LONGCROFT of £249,000 on 20th June 2022. For the value to have increased from £249,000 to £285,604 over the three years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
