HELM LEA 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 HELM LEA sales from March 2001 and April 2017 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 2001 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might HELM LEA be worth now?

HELM LEA might now be worth an estimated £272,686.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.7%, between April 2017 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 35.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HELM LEA of £201,000 on 28th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £201,000 to £272,686 over the six years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HELM LEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £201,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HELM LEA has not materially changed since April 2017.
