BERKSWELL Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BERKSWELL sales from August 1997 and January 2017 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 1997 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might BERKSWELL be worth now?

BERKSWELL might now be worth an estimated £592,319.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.9%, between January 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Staffordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 51.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BERKSWELL of £390,000 on 16th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £592,319 over the six years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BERKSWELL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Staffordshire local authority area.
• The January 2017 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BERKSWELL has not materially changed since January 2017.
