21 MERLEWOOD DRIVE 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 21 MERLEWOOD DRIVE sales between June 2001 and November 2021 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 April 2017 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might 21 MERLEWOOD DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18.9%, between November 2021 and February 2025, 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 18.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 MERLEWOOD DRIVE of £420,000 on 2nd November 2021. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £499,329 over the four years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
