FOXCROFT 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 four FOXCROFT sales between September 2003 and September 2012 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 March 2007 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might FOXCROFT be worth now?

FOXCROFT might now be worth an estimated £421,947.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.6%, between September 2012 and December 2024, 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 40.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOXCROFT of £300,000 on 26th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £421,947 over the eleven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOXCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ribble Valley local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOXCROFT has not materially changed since September 2012.
