BLENCATHRA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BLENCATHRA sales between February 1995 and October 2008 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 2000 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the October 2008 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might BLENCATHRA be worth now?

BLENCATHRA might now be worth an estimated £173,237.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.3%, between October 2008 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).

The 28.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLENCATHRA of £135,000 on 16th October 2008. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £173,237 over the fifteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLENCATHRA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wyre local authority area.
• The October 2008 sale price of £135,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLENCATHRA has not materially changed since October 2008.
