BIRCHES 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 BIRCHES sales between July 1997 and November 2010 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 2004 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it rises to 120% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 120% above the HPI.

What might BIRCHES be worth now?

BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £764,351.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.7%, between November 2010 and December 2024, 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 72.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHES of £442,500 on 5th November 2010. For the value to have increased from £442,500 to £764,351 over the thirteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dudley local authority area.
• The November 2010 sale price of £442,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHES has not materially changed since November 2010.
