13 THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 13 THE CROFT sales between October 1995 and August 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 July 1998 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 13 THE CROFT be worth now?

13 THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £401,280.

This is based on house price inflation of 36%, between August 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Lichfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 THE CROFT of £295,000 on 30th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £401,280 over the four years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 13 THE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lichfield local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 13 THE CROFT has not materially changed since August 2019.
