BIRCHWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCHWOOD sales between June 1997 and March 2006 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 2003 sale was for 123% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 123% above the HPI over time, until the March 2006 sale, where it rises to 160% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 160% above the HPI.

What might BIRCHWOOD be worth now?

BIRCHWOOD might now be worth an estimated £1,120,533.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.5%, between March 2006 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Staffordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 76.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHWOOD of £635,000 on 2nd March 2006. For the value to have increased from £635,000 to £1,120,533 over the nineteen years and one month 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 South Staffordshire local authority area.
• The March 2006 sale price of £635,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHWOOD has not materially changed since March 2006.
