The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 897 BLACKPOOL ROAD sales between August 1997 and May 2019 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 March 2019 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
897 BLACKPOOL ROAD might now be worth an estimated £189,756.
This is based on house price inflation of 35.5%, between May 2019 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 35.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 897 BLACKPOOL ROAD of £140,000 on 10th May 2019. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £189,756 over the six years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
