THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BIRCHES sales between September 2000 and November 2020 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 August 2018 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might THE BIRCHES be worth now?

THE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £452,679.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.3%, between November 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Northumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BIRCHES of £370,000 on 16th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £452,679 over the three years and eleven 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 Northumberland local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BIRCHES has not materially changed since November 2020.
