The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Solihull local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 179 LONGDON ROAD sales from December 2012 and June 2014 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 2012 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.
179 LONGDON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £933,566.
This is based on house price inflation of 61%, between June 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Solihull local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 61% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 179 LONGDON ROAD of £580,000 on 18th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £580,000 to £933,566 over the eleven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
