8 MIDLAND CLOSE 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 three 8 MIDLAND CLOSE sales between September 2012 and May 2021 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 December 2017 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might 8 MIDLAND CLOSE be worth now?

8 MIDLAND CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £232,896.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.3%, between May 2021 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 27.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MIDLAND CLOSE of £183,000 on 14th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £183,000 to £232,896 over the four years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
