8 MEADOWCLOUGH 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 MEADOWCLOUGH sales from September 1995 and November 1999 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 1995 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the November 1999 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 8 MEADOWCLOUGH be worth now?

The 262.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MEADOWCLOUGH of £59,500 on 5th November 1999. For the value to have increased from £59,500 to £215,927 over the 24 years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
