5 MARTIN DRIVE 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 two 5 MARTIN DRIVE sales from December 2001 and October 2008 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 December 2001 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the October 2008 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 5 MARTIN DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 50.9%, between October 2008 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 50.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MARTIN DRIVE of £170,000 on 24th October 2008. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £256,595 over the fifteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
