2 HOWARDS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 HOWARDS LANE sales from May 1998 and December 2011 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 May 1998 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might 2 HOWARDS LANE be worth now?

2 HOWARDS LANE might now be worth an estimated £420,003.

This is based on house price inflation of 81%, between December 2011 and July 2025, for detached houses, in the Wigan local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 81% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 HOWARDS LANE of £232,000 on 2nd December 2011. For the value to have increased from £232,000 to £420,003 over the fourteen years and five months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 HOWARDS LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wigan local authority area.
• The December 2011 sale price of £232,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 HOWARDS LANE has not materially changed since December 2011.
