8 THE HOUX 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 THE HOUX sales between July 2000 and February 2020 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 2009 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 8 THE HOUX be worth now?

8 THE HOUX might now be worth an estimated £296,788.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.9%, between February 2020 and February 2025, 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 31.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE HOUX of £225,000 on 14th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £296,788 over the five years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 THE HOUX has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dudley local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 THE HOUX has not materially changed since February 2020.
