4 MARSH GATE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 MARSH GATE sales between August 2003 and July 2009 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 2008 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 4 MARSH GATE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 68.5%, between July 2009 and December 2024, for 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 68.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 MARSH GATE of £190,000 on 28th July 2009. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £320,224 over the fourteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
