5 BELL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 BELL CLOSE sales between August 1998 and January 2017 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 June 2012 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 5 BELL CLOSE be worth now?

5 BELL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £339,516.

This is based on house price inflation of 47.6%, between January 2017 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Lichfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 47.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BELL CLOSE of £230,000 on 6th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £339,516 over the seven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 BELL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Lichfield local authority area.
• The January 2017 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
