BECKSIDE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BECKSIDE sales from June 2005 and June 2011 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 June 2005 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it rises to 123% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 123% above the HPI.

What might BECKSIDE be worth now?

BECKSIDE might now be worth an estimated £562,008.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.3%, between June 2011 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 58.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BECKSIDE of £355,000 on 10th June 2011. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £562,008 over the fourteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BECKSIDE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The June 2011 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BECKSIDE has not materially changed since June 2011.
