8 KESTREL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 KESTREL CLOSE sales from November 2013 and February 2017 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 2013 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might 8 KESTREL CLOSE be worth now?

8 KESTREL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £226,838.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.4%, between February 2017 and August 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 KESTREL CLOSE of £145,000 on 17th February 2017. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £226,838 over the seven years and six months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
