23 ORWELL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 23 ORWELL CLOSE sales from May 2002 and June 2007 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 2002 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 23 ORWELL CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 79.1%, between June 2007 and August 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Bury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 ORWELL CLOSE of £165,000 on 8th June 2007. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £295,462 over the seventeen years and ten months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
