23 MOSS GATE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 23 MOSS GATE sales from June 1996 and November 2004 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 1996 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 23 MOSS GATE be worth now?

23 MOSS GATE might now be worth an estimated £111,694.

This is based on house price inflation of 98.6%, between November 2004 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 98.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 MOSS GATE of £56,250 on 1st November 2004. For the value to have increased from £56,250 to £111,694 over the nineteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 MOSS GATE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The November 2004 sale price of £56,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
