4 LORTON Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tamworth local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 LORTON sales between November 2001 and March 2018 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 September 2015 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 4 LORTON be worth now?

4 LORTON might now be worth an estimated £361,565.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.1%, between March 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Tamworth local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 LORTON of £280,000 on 9th March 2018. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £361,565 over the five years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 LORTON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tamworth local authority area.
• The March 2018 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 LORTON has not materially changed since March 2018.
