BIRCHWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Telford and Wrekin local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCHWOOD sales from August 1995 and May 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 August 1995 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might BIRCHWOOD be worth now?

BIRCHWOOD might now be worth an estimated £264,134.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.8%, between May 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Telford and Wrekin local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHWOOD of £205,000 on 19th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £264,134 over the five years and three 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 Telford and Wrekin local authority area.
• The May 2020 sale price of £205,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHWOOD has not materially changed since May 2020.
