THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Ribble Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CROFT sales from October 2011 and May 2015 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 October 2011 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might THE CROFT be worth now?

THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £238,946.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.6%, between May 2015 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Ribble Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CROFT of £169,950 on 14th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £169,950 to £238,946 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Ribble Valley local authority area.
• The May 2015 sale price of £169,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CROFT has not materially changed since May 2015.
