5 POPLAR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 POPLAR CLOSE sales between August 1998 and July 2005 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 April 2003 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 5 POPLAR CLOSE be worth now?

5 POPLAR CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £251,783.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.1%, between July 2005 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the South Ribble local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 POPLAR CLOSE of £170,000 on 14th July 2005. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £251,783 over the eighteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 POPLAR CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The July 2005 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
