LONGCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LONGCROFT sales from June 2006 and July 2014 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 2006 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.

What might LONGCROFT be worth now?

LONGCROFT might now be worth an estimated £332,813.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.6%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for semi-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 49.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONGCROFT of £222,500 on 25th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £222,500 to £332,813 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONGCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £222,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONGCROFT has not materially changed since July 2014.
