8 ALDER 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 three 8 ALDER CLOSE sales between July 1997 and May 2007 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 June 2006 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might 8 ALDER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 61.8%, between May 2007 and February 2025, 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 61.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ALDER CLOSE of £290,000 on 25th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £469,337 over the eighteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
