BIRCHWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCHWOOD sales between June 1999 and August 2018 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 2012 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might BIRCHWOOD be worth now?

BIRCHWOOD might now be worth an estimated £691,636.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.4%, between August 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Test Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHWOOD of £565,000 on 29th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £565,000 to £691,636 over the seven years and six months 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 Test Valley local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £565,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHWOOD has not materially changed since August 2018.
