70 MELROSE AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dudley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 70 MELROSE AVENUE sales from May 1995 and August 2023 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 May 1995 sale was for 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.

What might 70 MELROSE AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.2%, between August 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dudley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 MELROSE AVENUE of £585,000 on 22nd August 2023. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £592,203 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
