BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCHES sales from March 1998 and January 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 1998 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might BIRCHES be worth now?

BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £353,688.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.8%, between January 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Torridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHES of £288,000 on 20th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £288,000 to £353,688 over the four years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torridge local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £288,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHES has not materially changed since January 2020.
