SOUTH LODGE 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 SOUTH LODGE sales from March 2008 and February 2020 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 March 2008 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might SOUTH LODGE be worth now?

SOUTH LODGE might now be worth an estimated £358,188.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.3%, between February 2020 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 43.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SOUTH LODGE of £250,000 on 24th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £358,188 over the three years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SOUTH LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SOUTH LODGE has not materially changed since February 2020.
