5 BIRCH AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BIRCH AVENUE sales from August 2005 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 August 2005 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 5 BIRCH AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 69.8%, between January 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Oldham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 69.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BIRCH AVENUE of £230,000 on 20th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £390,426 over the seven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
