12 BIRCHBANK GARDENS 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 12 BIRCHBANK GARDENS sales from April 1995 and April 2016 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 April 1995 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 12 BIRCHBANK GARDENS be worth now?

The 65.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 BIRCHBANK GARDENS of £120,000 on 14th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £120,000 to £198,075 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
