STARCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two STARCROFT sales from May 2015 and December 2019 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 May 2015 sale was for 146% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 146% above the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 550% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 550% above the HPI.

What might STARCROFT be worth now?

STARCROFT might now be worth an estimated £3,309,287.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.4%, between December 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lichfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STARCROFT of £2,500,000 on 20th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £2,500,000 to £3,309,287 over the six years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STARCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lichfield local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £2,500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STARCROFT has not materially changed since December 2019.
