8 BIRCHLEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 BIRCHLEA sales from September 2002 and September 2006 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 September 2002 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the September 2006 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might 8 BIRCHLEA be worth now?

8 BIRCHLEA might now be worth an estimated £960,039.

This is based on house price inflation of 113.3%, between September 2006 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Trafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 113.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BIRCHLEA of £450,000 on 1st September 2006. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £960,039 over the seventeen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 BIRCHLEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Trafford local authority area.
• The September 2006 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 BIRCHLEA has not materially changed since September 2006.
