HIGH BARN 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 HIGH BARN sales from February 2011 and November 2024 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 February 2011 sale was for 113% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 113% above the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 280% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 280% above the HPI.

What might HIGH BARN be worth now?

HIGH BARN might now be worth an estimated £1,511,635.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.8%, between November 2024 and February 2025, 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 0.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH BARN of £1,500,000 on 5th November 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,500,000 to £1,511,635 over the one year and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH BARN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The November 2024 sale price of £1,500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH BARN has not materially changed since November 2024.
