85A SCHOOL LANE 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 three 85A SCHOOL LANE sales between January 1996 and September 2021 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 2002 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 85A SCHOOL LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 21.5%, between September 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the West Lancashire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85A SCHOOL LANE of £184,950 on 24th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £184,950 to £224,749 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 85A SCHOOL LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £184,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
