2 THE COPSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 THE COPSE sales between October 1997 and September 2017 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 2007 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 144% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 144% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE COPSE be worth now?

2 THE COPSE might now be worth an estimated £754,639.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.5%, between September 2017 and December 2024, for 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 52.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE COPSE of £495,000 on 22nd September 2017. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £754,639 over the six years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE COPSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wigan local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE COPSE has not materially changed since September 2017.
