BIRCHWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCHWOOD sales from April 2014 and February 2016 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 April 2014 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might BIRCHWOOD be worth now?

BIRCHWOOD might now be worth an estimated £374,464.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.8%, between February 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHWOOD of £264,000 on 12th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £264,000 to £374,464 over the nine years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCHWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £264,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHWOOD has not materially changed since February 2016.
