HIGHFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HIGHFIELD sales between October 2003 and October 2018 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 June 2015 sale was for 100% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 100% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might HIGHFIELD be worth now?

HIGHFIELD might now be worth an estimated £600,378.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.5%, between October 2018 and December 2024, for 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 30.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHFIELD of £460,000 on 12th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £600,378 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The October 2018 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHFIELD has not materially changed since October 2018.
