The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Manchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 WOOD ROAD sales between May 2003 and October 2014 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 November 2006 sale was for 137% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 137% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 176% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 176% above the HPI.
42 WOOD ROAD might now be worth an estimated £853,911.
This is based on house price inflation of 94.1%, between October 2014 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Manchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 94.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 WOOD ROAD of £440,000 on 16th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £853,911 over the eleven years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
