DEW BOTTOMS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DEW BOTTOMS sales from September 1998 and January 2015 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 1998 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, which was also at 27% above the HPI.

What might DEW BOTTOMS be worth now?

DEW BOTTOMS might now be worth an estimated £265,903.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.9%, between January 2015 and August 2025, for semi-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).

The 51.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DEW BOTTOMS of £175,000 on 5th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £265,903 over the nine years and five months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DEW BOTTOMS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £175,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DEW BOTTOMS has not materially changed since January 2015.
