16 LINK LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 16 LINK LANE sales between December 1999 and May 2007 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 August 2002 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 16 LINK LANE be worth now?

16 LINK LANE might now be worth an estimated £249,928.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.4%, between May 2007 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Oldham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 72.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 LINK LANE of £145,000 on 18th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £249,928 over the sixteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 LINK LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Oldham local authority area.
• The May 2007 sale price of £145,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 LINK LANE has not materially changed since May 2007.
