2 THE CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 2 THE CREST sales between May 1998 and September 2021 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 2016 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 2 THE CREST be worth now?

2 THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £333,766.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.3%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Birmingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE CREST of £299,950 on 3rd September 2021. For the value to have increased from £299,950 to £333,766 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Birmingham local authority area.
