TITMOUSE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four TITMOUSE COTTAGE sales between June 1998 and December 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 January 2008 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might TITMOUSE COTTAGE be worth now?

TITMOUSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £400,728.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.7%, between December 2015 and February 2025, for 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 44.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TITMOUSE COTTAGE of £277,000 on 21st December 2015. For the value to have increased from £277,000 to £400,728 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TITMOUSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The December 2015 sale price of £277,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TITMOUSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2015.
