THE POPLARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE POPLARS sales from July 1997 and May 2016 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 July 1997 sale was for 131% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 131% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 119% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 119% above the HPI.

What might THE POPLARS be worth now?

THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £451,638.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.4%, between May 2016 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 43.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE POPLARS of £315,000 on 24th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £451,638 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE POPLARS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE POPLARS has not materially changed since May 2016.
