THE ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ORCHARD sales from April 1998 and June 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 April 1998 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the June 1998 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might THE ORCHARD be worth now?

THE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £210,367.

This is based on house price inflation of 321.2%, between June 1998 and February 2025, for semi-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 321.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ORCHARD of £49,950 on 26th June 1998. For the value to have increased from £49,950 to £210,367 over the 27 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The June 1998 sale price of £49,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ORCHARD has not materially changed since June 1998.
