GEORGEWOOD HOUSE 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 GEORGEWOOD HOUSE sales from November 2001 and September 2014 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 November 2001 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 83% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 83% above the HPI.

What might GEORGEWOOD HOUSE be worth now?

GEORGEWOOD HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £537,130.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.1%, between September 2014 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 76.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GEORGEWOOD HOUSE of £305,000 on 22nd September 2014. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £537,130 over the nine years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GEORGEWOOD HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GEORGEWOOD HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2014.
