HELVELLYN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HELVELLYN sales between September 2001 and October 2022 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 May 2005 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might HELVELLYN be worth now?

HELVELLYN might now be worth an estimated £155,226.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.2%, between October 2022 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the South Ribble local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HELVELLYN of £149,000 on 28th October 2022. For the value to have increased from £149,000 to £155,226 over the three years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HELVELLYN has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The October 2022 sale price of £149,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HELVELLYN has not materially changed since October 2022.
