CROFT HOUSE 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 CROFT HOUSE sales from September 2007 and March 2015 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 2007 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might CROFT HOUSE be worth now?

CROFT HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £233,639.

This is based on house price inflation of 46%, between March 2015 and December 2024, 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 46% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROFT HOUSE of £160,000 on 20th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £233,639 over the eight years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROFT HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The March 2015 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROFT HOUSE has not materially changed since March 2015.
