42 EMPRESS DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Blackpool local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 42 EMPRESS DRIVE sales between April 1995 and October 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 January 2005 sale was for 88% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 42 EMPRESS DRIVE be worth now?

42 EMPRESS DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £130,616.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.8%, between October 2021 and May 2026, for terraced houses, in the Blackpool local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 9.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 EMPRESS DRIVE of £119,000 on 1st October 2021. For the value to have increased from £119,000 to £130,616 over the five years and five months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 EMPRESS DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Blackpool local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £119,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
