4 POLEGATE DRIVE 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 4 POLEGATE DRIVE sales from November 2002 and June 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 November 2002 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the June 2005 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 4 POLEGATE DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 82.4%, between June 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 82.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 POLEGATE DRIVE of £98,500 on 14th June 2005. For the value to have increased from £98,500 to £179,634 over the twenty years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
