BOWDEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ribble Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BOWDEN sales from September 2014 and July 2018 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 September 2014 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might BOWDEN be worth now?

BOWDEN might now be worth an estimated £281,591.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.6%, between July 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ribble Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOWDEN of £235,500 on 13th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £235,500 to £281,591 over the seven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOWDEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ribble Valley local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £235,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOWDEN has not materially changed since July 2018.
