1 HIDDEN LOCK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 HIDDEN LOCK sales from December 2017 and March 2022 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 December 2017 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 1 HIDDEN LOCK be worth now?

1 HIDDEN LOCK might now be worth an estimated £269,368.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.8%, between March 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Sandwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 8.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 HIDDEN LOCK of £247,630 on 17th March 2022. For the value to have increased from £247,630 to £269,368 over the three years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
