6 FIRS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bromsgrove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 6 FIRS CLOSE sales between November 2011 and July 2020 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 November 2015 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 6 FIRS CLOSE be worth now?

6 FIRS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £402,145.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.1%, between July 2020 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Bromsgrove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 FIRS CLOSE of £319,000 on 9th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £319,000 to £402,145 over the five years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 FIRS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bromsgrove local authority area.
• The July 2020 sale price of £319,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
