12 LORTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 LORTON CLOSE sales from February 2012 and October 2020 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 February 2012 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 12 LORTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 32.6%, between October 2020 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 LORTON CLOSE of £115,500 on 23rd October 2020. For the value to have increased from £115,500 to £153,139 over the six years and five months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
