1 THE ELMS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 THE ELMS sales between August 2002 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 2014 sale was for 269% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 269% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 226% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 226% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE ELMS be worth now?

1 THE ELMS might now be worth an estimated £1,406,388.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.1%, between May 2016 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Trafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 64.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE ELMS of £857,000 on 6th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £857,000 to £1,406,388 over the nine years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE ELMS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Trafford local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £857,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE ELMS has not materially changed since May 2016.
