BACKWOODS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromsgrove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BACKWOODS sales from April 2000 and September 2003 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 April 2000 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the September 2003 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might BACKWOODS be worth now?

BACKWOODS might now be worth an estimated £790,452.

This is based on house price inflation of 102.7%, between September 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bromsgrove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 102.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BACKWOODS of £390,000 on 2nd September 2003. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £790,452 over the 22 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BACKWOODS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bromsgrove local authority area.
• The September 2003 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BACKWOODS has not materially changed since September 2003.
