LOWER HILL HOUSE FARM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hyndburn local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LOWER HILL HOUSE FARM sales from April 1995 and December 1998 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 1995 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the December 1998 sale, where it rises to 87% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 87% above the HPI.

What might LOWER HILL HOUSE FARM be worth now?

LOWER HILL HOUSE FARM might now be worth an estimated £432,079.

This is based on house price inflation of 263.1%, between December 1998 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Hyndburn local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 263.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LOWER HILL HOUSE FARM of £119,000 on 8th December 1998. For the value to have increased from £119,000 to £432,079 over the 27 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LOWER HILL HOUSE FARM has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Hyndburn local authority area.
• The December 1998 sale price of £119,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
