THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leeds local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BIRCHES sales between October 2003 and February 2022 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 214% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 214% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 166% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 166% above the HPI.

What might THE BIRCHES be worth now?

THE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £1,191,009.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.9%, between February 2022 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Leeds local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BIRCHES of £1,055,000 on 8th February 2022. For the value to have increased from £1,055,000 to £1,191,009 over the two years and eleven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Leeds local authority area.
• The February 2022 sale price of £1,055,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BIRCHES has not materially changed since February 2022.
