ASHTON LEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ASHTON LEA sales from July 2001 and January 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 2001 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it rises to 117% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 117% above the HPI.

What might ASHTON LEA be worth now?

ASHTON LEA might now be worth an estimated £634,990.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.8%, between January 2011 and December 2024, for 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 60.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ASHTON LEA of £395,000 on 28th January 2011. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £634,990 over the twelve years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ASHTON LEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The January 2011 sale price of £395,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
