THE BEECHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BEECHES sales from September 2009 and July 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 September 2009 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to 81% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 81% above the HPI.

What might THE BEECHES be worth now?

THE BEECHES might now be worth an estimated £811,247.

This is based on house price inflation of 82.3%, between July 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Staffordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 82.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BEECHES of £445,000 on 6th July 2012. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £811,247 over the eleven years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BEECHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Staffordshire local authority area.
• The July 2012 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BEECHES has not materially changed since July 2012.
