1 ORFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 ORFORD CLOSE sales from March 2006 and May 2022 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 March 2006 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might 1 ORFORD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 12.3%, between May 2022 and December 2024, for semi-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 12.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ORFORD CLOSE of £205,000 on 20th May 2022. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £230,167 over the one year and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
