26 FIRS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromsgrove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 FIRS CLOSE sales from December 2005 and July 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 2005 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 26 FIRS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 60.4%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bromsgrove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 FIRS CLOSE of £282,000 on 11th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £282,000 to £452,265 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
