The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 40 WHITBURN sales from June 1996 and September 2014 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 June 1996 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
40 WHITBURN might now be worth an estimated £160,488.
This is based on house price inflation of 47.2%, between September 2014 and June 2025, for terraced 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 47.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 WHITBURN of £109,000 on 23rd September 2014. For the value to have increased from £109,000 to £160,488 over the eleven years and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
