55 DOVECOTE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 55 DOVECOTE LANE sales from August 1999 and August 2016 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 August 1999 sale was for 96% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might 55 DOVECOTE LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 70.8%, between August 2016 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Oldham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
