45 RAINBOW 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 45 RAINBOW DRIVE sales from November 2002 and October 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 was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 45 RAINBOW DRIVE be worth now?

45 RAINBOW DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £178,549.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.5%, between October 2005 and July 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 78.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 45 RAINBOW DRIVE of £100,000 on 28th October 2005. For the value to have increased from £100,000 to £178,549 over the twenty years and three months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 45 RAINBOW DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wigan local authority area.
• The October 2005 sale price of £100,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
