The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 40 TOWNLEA CLOSE sales between March 2001 and October 2013 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 September 2007 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
40 TOWNLEA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £244,666.
This is based on house price inflation of 51%, between October 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Ribble local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
