7 SAFFRON CLOSE 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 7 SAFFRON CLOSE sales from April 1997 and October 1998 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 April 1997 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the October 1998 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 7 SAFFRON CLOSE be worth now?

7 SAFFRON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £395,872.

This is based on house price inflation of 335%, between October 1998 and February 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 335% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 SAFFRON CLOSE of £91,000 on 30th October 1998. For the value to have increased from £91,000 to £395,872 over the 27 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 SAFFRON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wigan local authority area.
• The October 1998 sale price of £91,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
