42 THE RIDDINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 42 THE RIDDINGS sales between January 1995 and December 2004 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 February 1999 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the December 2004 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 42 THE RIDDINGS be worth now?

42 THE RIDDINGS might now be worth an estimated £261,071.

This is based on house price inflation of 87.8%, between December 2004 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Birmingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 87.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 THE RIDDINGS of £139,000 on 10th December 2004. For the value to have increased from £139,000 to £261,071 over the 21 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 THE RIDDINGS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Birmingham local authority area.
• The December 2004 sale price of £139,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 42 THE RIDDINGS has not materially changed since December 2004.
