21 WORDSWORTH CLOSE 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 two 21 WORDSWORTH CLOSE sales from July 1996 and January 1999 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 1996 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the January 1999 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 21 WORDSWORTH CLOSE be worth now?

The 315.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 WORDSWORTH CLOSE of £131,000 on 29th January 1999. For the value to have increased from £131,000 to £544,347 over the 25 years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
