LOWER BIRCHES FARM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LOWER BIRCHES FARM sales from February 2001 and August 2012 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 February 2001 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, which was also at 69% above the HPI.

What might LOWER BIRCHES FARM be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 99.6%, between August 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Oldham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
