15 ORWELL 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 three 15 ORWELL CLOSE sales between November 2005 and July 2020 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 2017 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 15 ORWELL CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 39.7%, between July 2020 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 39.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 ORWELL CLOSE of £122,500 on 15th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £122,500 to £171,095 over the three years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
