8 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Helens local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 THE CLOSE sales between December 2012 and May 2023 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 March 2014 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 8 THE CLOSE be worth now?

8 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £218,184.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.4%, between May 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the St Helens local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE CLOSE of £205,000 on 19th May 2023. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £218,184 over the two years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the St Helens local authority area.
• The May 2023 sale price of £205,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 THE CLOSE has not materially changed since May 2023.
