28 BIRCHCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 BIRCHCROFT sales from January 1998 and August 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 January 1998 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the August 1999 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 28 BIRCHCROFT be worth now?

28 BIRCHCROFT might now be worth an estimated £428,922.

This is based on house price inflation of 286.4%, between August 1999 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Staffordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 286.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 BIRCHCROFT of £111,000 on 13th August 1999. For the value to have increased from £111,000 to £428,922 over the 26 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 1999 sale price of £111,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
