34 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 34 BIRCHCROFT sales from August 1998 and August 2005 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 August 1998 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 34 BIRCHCROFT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 80.3%, between August 2005 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 80.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 BIRCHCROFT of £277,000 on 15th August 2005. For the value to have increased from £277,000 to £499,293 over the twenty years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 34 BIRCHCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Staffordshire local authority area.
• The August 2005 sale price of £277,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
