BIRCHFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCHFIELD sales from August 1998 and July 2003 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 1998 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the July 2003 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might BIRCHFIELD be worth now?

BIRCHFIELD might now be worth an estimated £763,646.

This is based on house price inflation of 109.2%, between July 2003 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mole Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 109.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHFIELD of £365,000 on 28th July 2003. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £763,646 over the twenty years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCHFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mole Valley local authority area.
• The July 2003 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHFIELD has not materially changed since July 2003.
