SCHOOL HOUSE 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 SCHOOL HOUSE sales from June 1996 and November 1998 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 1996 sale was for 65% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% below the HPI over time, until the November 1998 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might SCHOOL HOUSE be worth now?

SCHOOL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £268,309.

This is based on house price inflation of 313.1%, between November 1998 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 313.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SCHOOL HOUSE of £64,950 on 9th November 1998. For the value to have increased from £64,950 to £268,309 over the 27 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SCHOOL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The November 1998 sale price of £64,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SCHOOL HOUSE has not materially changed since November 1998.
