34 BIRCH TREE WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 34 BIRCH TREE WAY sales from May 2017 and September 2021 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 May 2017 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 34 BIRCH TREE WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.6%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Preston local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 BIRCH TREE WAY of £190,000 on 17th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £223,350 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
