THE BYRE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five THE BYRE sales between July 1996 and October 2021 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 May 2013 sale was for 122% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 122% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it falls to 100% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 100% above the HPI.

What might THE BYRE be worth now?

THE BYRE might now be worth an estimated £582,723.

This is based on house price inflation of 11%, between October 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Wychavon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BYRE of £525,000 on 15th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £582,723 over the two years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BYRE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wychavon local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BYRE has not materially changed since October 2021.
