5 MELLING WAY 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 5 MELLING WAY sales from July 2004 and November 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 July 2004 sale was for 76% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% above the HPI over time, until the November 2008 sale, where it falls to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might 5 MELLING WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 72.5%, between November 2008 and December 2024, 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 72.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MELLING WAY of £175,000 on 19th November 2008. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £301,866 over the fifteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
