1 THE RETREAT 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 three 1 THE RETREAT sales between June 2001 and February 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 April 2012 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE RETREAT be worth now?

1 THE RETREAT might now be worth an estimated £325,691.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.4%, between February 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 10.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE RETREAT of £295,000 on 8th February 2022. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £325,691 over the three years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE RETREAT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sandwell local authority area.
• The February 2022 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE RETREAT has not materially changed since February 2022.
