8 BIRCH DRIVE 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 three 8 BIRCH DRIVE sales between October 1995 and January 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 March 2015 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 8 BIRCH DRIVE be worth now?

8 BIRCH DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £263,081.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.2%, between January 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 8 BIRCH DRIVE of £260,000 on 20th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £263,081 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 BIRCH DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dudley local authority area.
