The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 PENNY FARTHING LANE sales between September 1996 and August 2016 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 May 2012 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.
8 PENNY FARTHING LANE might now be worth an estimated £323,315.
This is based on house price inflation of 34.7%, between August 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wyre local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
