2 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 2 MERLECREST DRIVE sales between November 1996 and September 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 April 2000 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the September 2025 sale, which was also at 21% above the HPI.

What might 2 MERLECREST DRIVE be worth now?

2 MERLECREST DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £286,108.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.9%, between September 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 2.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MERLECREST DRIVE of £278,000 on 10th September 2025. For the value to have increased from £278,000 to £286,108 over the one year and five months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 MERLECREST DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Lancashire local authority area.
• The September 2025 sale price of £278,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 MERLECREST DRIVE has not materially changed since September 2025.
