BIRCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BIRCH COTTAGE sales between February 1997 and January 2021 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 March 2017 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH COTTAGE be worth now?

BIRCH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £397,291.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.7%, between January 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH COTTAGE of £346,500 on 29th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £346,500 to £397,291 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £346,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
