WHINCOP Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rossendale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WHINCOP sales from October 2020 and November 2024 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 October 2020 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might WHINCOP be worth now?

WHINCOP might now be worth an estimated £226,329.

This is based on house price deflation of 5.7%, between November 2024 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Rossendale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for WHINCOP of £240,000 on 22nd November 2024. For the value to have decreased from £240,000 to £226,329 over the one year and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHINCOP has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rossendale local authority area.
• The November 2024 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHINCOP has not materially changed since November 2024.
