HILL CREST 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 three HILL CREST sales between April 1996 and March 2007 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 June 2006 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the March 2007 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might HILL CREST be worth now?

HILL CREST might now be worth an estimated £396,137.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.5%, between March 2007 and December 2024, 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 58.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILL CREST of £249,999 on 2nd March 2007. For the value to have increased from £249,999 to £396,137 over the sixteen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILL CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Telford and Wrekin local authority area.
• The March 2007 sale price of £249,999 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILL CREST has not materially changed since March 2007.
