3 CRAB BROW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 CRAB BROW sales from October 1995 and July 1996 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 October 1995 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the July 1996 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 3 CRAB BROW be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 395.4%, between July 1996 and February 2025, for semi-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 395.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 CRAB BROW of £42,200 on 5th July 1996. For the value to have increased from £42,200 to £209,044 over the 29 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
