SHIRE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SHIRE HOUSE sales from April 2013 and December 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 April 2013 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.

What might SHIRE HOUSE be worth now?

SHIRE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £537,926.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.1%, between December 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wyre local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SHIRE HOUSE of £479,950 on 3rd December 2021. For the value to have increased from £479,950 to £537,926 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SHIRE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wyre local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £479,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SHIRE HOUSE has not materially changed since December 2021.
