68 LIGHTWOODS HILL Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 68 LIGHTWOODS HILL sales from July 2003 and May 2009 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 July 2003 sale was for 264% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 264% above the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it rises to 321% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 321% above the HPI.

What might 68 LIGHTWOODS HILL be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 115%, between May 2009 and July 2025, for terraced houses, in the Sandwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 115% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 68 LIGHTWOODS HILL of £375,000 on 13th May 2009. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £806,303 over the fifteen years and ten months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 68 LIGHTWOODS HILL has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Sandwell local authority area.
• The May 2009 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
