18 WENSLEY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hyndburn local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 WENSLEY DRIVE sales from May 1996 and March 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 May 1996 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the March 2005 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might 18 WENSLEY DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 85.9%, between March 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Hyndburn local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 85.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 WENSLEY DRIVE of £149,999 on 23rd March 2005. For the value to have increased from £149,999 to £278,916 over the twenty years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
