LEES HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LEES HOUSE sales between October 1997 and May 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 April 2002 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might LEES HOUSE be worth now?

LEES HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £232,139.

This is based on house price inflation of 8%, between May 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LEES HOUSE of £215,000 on 10th May 2024. For the value to have increased from £215,000 to £232,139 over the one year and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LEES HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £215,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LEES HOUSE has not materially changed since May 2024.
