LONG CRAG 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 LONG CRAG sales from November 1998 and January 2017 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 November 1998 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.

What might LONG CRAG be worth now?

LONG CRAG might now be worth an estimated £678,996.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.8%, between January 2017 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 35.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONG CRAG of £500,000 on 20th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £678,996 over the seven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONG CRAG has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The January 2017 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONG CRAG has not materially changed since January 2017.
