LYME HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LYME HOUSE sales from November 1997 and January 2002 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 1997 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the January 2002 sale, where it rises to 215% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 215% above the HPI.

What might LYME HOUSE be worth now?

LYME HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,149,261.

This is based on house price inflation of 187.3%, between January 2002 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Lancashire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 187.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYME HOUSE of £400,000 on 4th January 2002. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £1,149,261 over the 22 years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYME HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The January 2002 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYME HOUSE has not materially changed since January 2002.
