8 MEINS CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 MEINS CROFT sales from June 2005 and July 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 2005 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it rises to 93% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 93% above the HPI.

What might 8 MEINS CROFT be worth now?

8 MEINS CROFT might now be worth an estimated £335,966.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.1%, between July 2007 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MEINS CROFT of £231,500 on 5th July 2007. For the value to have increased from £231,500 to £335,966 over the sixteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
