THE BIRCH Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Spelthorne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BIRCH sales from December 1997 and June 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 December 1997 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might THE BIRCH be worth now?

THE BIRCH might now be worth an estimated £530,702.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.1%, between June 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Spelthorne local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BIRCH of £500,000 on 3rd June 2024. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £530,702 over the one year and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BIRCH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Spelthorne local authority area.
• The June 2024 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BIRCH has not materially changed since June 2024.
