HIGHFIELD 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 HIGHFIELD sales from February 2001 and May 2023 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 February 2001 sale was for 139% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 139% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 157% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 157% above the HPI.

What might HIGHFIELD be worth now?

HIGHFIELD might now be worth an estimated £447,833.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.7%, between May 2023 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 11.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHFIELD of £401,000 on 11th May 2023. For the value to have increased from £401,000 to £447,833 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
