47 RECTORY CLOSE 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 five 47 RECTORY CLOSE sales between April 1996 and September 2017 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 2007 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 47 RECTORY CLOSE be worth now?

47 RECTORY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £204,032.

This is based on house price inflation of 50%, between September 2017 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 50% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 47 RECTORY CLOSE of £136,000 on 15th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £136,000 to £204,032 over the six years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
