31 THE BEECHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cannock Chase local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 THE BEECHES sales between January 2017 and August 2024 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 November 2022 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 31 THE BEECHES be worth now?

The 0.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 THE BEECHES of £285,000 on 23rd August 2024. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £286,503 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
