THREE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THREE BIRCHES sales from July 1996 and February 2008 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 1996 sale was for 148% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 148% above the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it rises to 291% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 291% above the HPI.

What might THREE BIRCHES be worth now?

THREE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £2,275,177.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.9%, between February 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THREE BIRCHES of £1,450,000 on 28th February 2008. For the value to have increased from £1,450,000 to £2,275,177 over the seventeen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THREE BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The February 2008 sale price of £1,450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THREE BIRCHES has not materially changed since February 2008.
