3 HOBBY GROVE 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 three 3 HOBBY GROVE sales between April 1999 and May 2005 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 2003 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 3 HOBBY GROVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 85.3%, between May 2005 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 85.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 HOBBY GROVE of £143,000 on 11th May 2005. For the value to have increased from £143,000 to £265,001 over the twenty years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
