5 METCALFE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 METCALFE CLOSE sales from February 2003 and January 2020 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 February 2003 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 5 METCALFE CLOSE be worth now?

5 METCALFE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £180,964.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.2%, between January 2020 and December 2024, for semi-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 39.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 METCALFE CLOSE of £130,000 on 17th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £130,000 to £180,964 over the three years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 METCALFE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £130,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
