The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 149 POOL LANE sales from July 2000 and May 2016 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 2000 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
149 POOL LANE might now be worth an estimated £253,105.
This is based on house price inflation of 71.1%, between May 2016 and December 2024, for semi-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 71.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 149 POOL LANE of £147,950 on 6th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £147,950 to £253,105 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
