18 MERLECREST DRIVE 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 three 18 MERLECREST DRIVE sales between June 2000 and May 2025 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 November 2000 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the May 2025 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 18 MERLECREST DRIVE be worth now?

18 MERLECREST DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £262,461.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.2%, between May 2025 and April 2026, 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 8.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 MERLECREST DRIVE of £242,500 on 21st May 2025. For the value to have increased from £242,500 to £262,461 over the one year and one month to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 MERLECREST DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The May 2025 sale price of £242,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
