BIRCH HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Croydon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCH HOUSE sales from March 1996 and June 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 March 1996 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it rises to 153% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 153% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH HOUSE be worth now?

BIRCH HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £2,137,954.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.3%, between June 2020 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Croydon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH HOUSE of £2,050,000 on 5th June 2020. For the value to have increased from £2,050,000 to £2,137,954 over the five years and three months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Croydon local authority area.
• The June 2020 sale price of £2,050,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCH HOUSE has not materially changed since June 2020.
