HIGHLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HIGHLANDS sales between July 2003 and March 2024 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 January 2021 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might HIGHLANDS be worth now?

HIGHLANDS might now be worth an estimated £471,033.

This is based on house price inflation of 4%, between March 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Stafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHLANDS of £453,000 on 12th March 2024. For the value to have increased from £453,000 to £471,033 over the one year and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stafford local authority area.
• The March 2024 sale price of £453,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHLANDS has not materially changed since March 2024.
