VICKERS CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three VICKERS CROFT sales between October 2001 and February 2020 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 2004 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might VICKERS CROFT be worth now?

VICKERS CROFT might now be worth an estimated £361,528.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.1%, between February 2020 and June 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).

The 29.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VICKERS CROFT of £280,000 on 28th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £361,528 over the four years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VICKERS CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VICKERS CROFT has not materially changed since February 2020.
