2 WATKINS DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 WATKINS DRIVE sales from January 1997 and December 2013 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 January 1997 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might 2 WATKINS DRIVE be worth now?

2 WATKINS DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £533,491.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.5%, between December 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 86.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 WATKINS DRIVE of £286,000 on 5th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £286,000 to £533,491 over the twelve years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 WATKINS DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bury local authority area.
