1 UNION 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 two 1 UNION CLOSE sales from February 2006 and February 2013 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 February 2006 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 1 UNION CLOSE be worth now?

1 UNION CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £390,950.

This is based on house price inflation of 84%, between February 2013 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 84% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 UNION CLOSE of £212,500 on 27th February 2013. For the value to have increased from £212,500 to £390,950 over the ten years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 UNION CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wigan local authority area.
• The February 2013 sale price of £212,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 UNION CLOSE has not materially changed since February 2013.
