1 BRONTE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 BRONTE CLOSE sales between March 1995 and May 2011 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 December 2005 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might 1 BRONTE CLOSE be worth now?

1 BRONTE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £158,840.

This is based on house price inflation of 82.6%, between May 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wigan local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 82.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BRONTE CLOSE of £87,000 on 9th May 2011. For the value to have increased from £87,000 to £158,840 over the twelve years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 BRONTE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wigan local authority area.

• The size, condition, and specification of 1 BRONTE CLOSE has not materially changed since May 2011.
