38 DOVECOTE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 DOVECOTE LANE sales from May 2019 and January 2024 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 May 2019 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 38 DOVECOTE LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 10.5%, between January 2024 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Oldham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 DOVECOTE LANE of £190,000 on 12th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £209,866 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
