6 BIRLEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 BIRLEY CLOSE sales from July 1995 and June 2011 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 1995 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 6 BIRLEY CLOSE be worth now?

6 BIRLEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £310,211.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.6%, between June 2011 and December 2024, for 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 83.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 BIRLEY CLOSE of £169,000 on 30th June 2011. For the value to have increased from £169,000 to £310,211 over the twelve years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 BIRLEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wigan local authority area.
• The June 2011 sale price of £169,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 6 BIRLEY CLOSE has not materially changed since June 2011.
