The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 798 BLACKPOOL ROAD sales between August 1997 and December 2002 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 August 2001 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.
798 BLACKPOOL ROAD might now be worth an estimated £255,732.
This is based on house price inflation of 155.9%, between December 2002 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Preston local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 155.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 798 BLACKPOOL ROAD of £99,950 on 23rd December 2002. For the value to have increased from £99,950 to £255,732 over the 23 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
