16 SHELDWICH 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 16 SHELDWICH CLOSE sales from October 1995 and July 2002 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 October 1995 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the July 2002 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 16 SHELDWICH CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 238.7%, between July 2002 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 238.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 SHELDWICH CLOSE of £57,950 on 5th July 2002. For the value to have increased from £57,950 to £196,264 over the 21 years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
