LILAC COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lancaster local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LILAC COTTAGE sales between June 2002 and June 2013 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 2007 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might LILAC COTTAGE be worth now?

LILAC COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £439,115.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.1%, between June 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lancaster local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LILAC COTTAGE of £285,000 on 12th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £439,115 over the twelve years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LILAC COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lancaster local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LILAC COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2013.
