55 BIRCH TREE WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 55 BIRCH TREE WAY sales from September 2018 and April 2023 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 September 2018 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 55 BIRCH TREE WAY be worth now?
