THORNYCROFT 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 THORNYCROFT sales from September 2007 and October 2009 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 September 2007 sale was for 449% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 449% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 506% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 506% above the HPI.

What might THORNYCROFT be worth now?

THORNYCROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,056,956.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.9%, between October 2009 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 58.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THORNYCROFT of £665,000 on 30th October 2009. For the value to have increased from £665,000 to £1,056,956 over the fourteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THORNYCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £665,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THORNYCROFT has not materially changed since October 2009.
