KEBBS COTTAGE 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 KEBBS COTTAGE sales from August 2002 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 August 2002 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it falls to 76% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 76% above the HPI.

What might KEBBS COTTAGE be worth now?

KEBBS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £516,555.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.4%, between May 2021 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 32.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for KEBBS COTTAGE of £390,000 on 24th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £516,555 over the two years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KEBBS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The May 2021 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of KEBBS COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2021.
