26 FIRBARN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26 FIRBARN CLOSE sales between June 1996 and December 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 September 2004 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 26 FIRBARN CLOSE be worth now?

26 FIRBARN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £358,887.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.1%, between December 2019 and February 2025, for semi-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 29.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 FIRBARN CLOSE of £278,000 on 9th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £278,000 to £358,887 over the six years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 FIRBARN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Birmingham local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £278,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
