72 MEALHOUSE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 72 MEALHOUSE LANE sales between March 1997 and February 2003 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 2000 sale was for 61% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% below the HPI over time, until the February 2003 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 72 MEALHOUSE LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 224.4%, between February 2003 and July 2025, for terraced 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 224.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 72 MEALHOUSE LANE of £30,000 on 28th February 2003. For the value to have increased from £30,000 to £97,313 over the 21 years and seven months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
