BIRCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCROFT sales from April 1996 and May 2014 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 April 1996 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might BIRCROFT be worth now?

BIRCROFT might now be worth an estimated £341,263.

This is based on house price inflation of 49%, between May 2014 and March 2025, for 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 49% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCROFT of £229,000 on 1st May 2014. For the value to have increased from £229,000 to £341,263 over the eleven years and two months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £229,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCROFT has not materially changed since May 2014.
