1 MARTIN DRIVE 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 MARTIN DRIVE sales from May 2005 and February 2015 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 May 2005 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might 1 MARTIN DRIVE be worth now?

1 MARTIN DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £243,395.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.9%, between February 2015 and February 2025, 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 67.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 MARTIN DRIVE of £145,000 on 26th February 2015. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £243,395 over the ten years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 MARTIN DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The February 2015 sale price of £145,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
