1 COWAN BRAE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 COWAN BRAE sales from December 1998 and November 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 1998 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might 1 COWAN BRAE be worth now?

1 COWAN BRAE might now be worth an estimated £242,243.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.9%, between November 2011 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 COWAN BRAE of £148,750 on 9th November 2011. For the value to have increased from £148,750 to £242,243 over the twelve years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 COWAN BRAE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The November 2011 sale price of £148,750 represented a fair market value for the property.
