THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BIRCHES sales from March 2018 and July 2018 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 March 2018 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might THE BIRCHES be worth now?

THE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £462,123.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.6%, between July 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BIRCHES of £365,000 on 13th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £462,123 over the five years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Somerset local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BIRCHES has not materially changed since July 2018.
