ROSECROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Lindsey local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ROSECROFT sales between January 2001 and October 2021 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 July 2004 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might ROSECROFT be worth now?

ROSECROFT might now be worth an estimated £200,998.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.7%, between October 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the East Lindsey local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROSECROFT of £180,000 on 8th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £200,998 over the two years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROSECROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Lindsey local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £180,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROSECROFT has not materially changed since October 2021.
