688 LEIGH ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 688 LEIGH ROAD sales from March 2007 and October 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 March 2007 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might 688 LEIGH ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 36.9%, between October 2020 and February 2025, for semi-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 36.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 688 LEIGH ROAD of £197,000 on 9th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £197,000 to £269,669 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
