8 FERNWOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 FERNWOOD CLOSE sales between November 2002 and October 2011 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 August 2008 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 8 FERNWOOD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 77.9%, between October 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Birmingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 77.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 FERNWOOD CLOSE of £250,000 on 17th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £444,731 over the twelve years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
