The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 49 RAINBOW DRIVE sales between December 2002 and September 2011 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 2008 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
49 RAINBOW DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £182,281.
This is based on house price inflation of 83.8%, between September 2011 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 83.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 49 RAINBOW DRIVE of £99,200 on 23rd September 2011. For the value to have increased from £99,200 to £182,281 over the fourteen years and two months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
