169 PLATT LANE 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 five 169 PLATT LANE sales between March 1996 and October 2005 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 June 2005 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 169 PLATT LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 79.2%, between October 2005 and February 2025, 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 79.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 169 PLATT LANE of £99,000 on 19th October 2005. For the value to have increased from £99,000 to £177,375 over the twenty years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
