39 OPEN FIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 39 OPEN FIELD CLOSE sales from February 1997 and July 2000 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 February 1997 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the July 2000 sale, which was also at 4% below the HPI.

What might 39 OPEN FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

39 OPEN FIELD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £259,000.

This is based on house price inflation of 305%, between July 2000 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Birmingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 305% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 39 OPEN FIELD CLOSE of £63,950 on 28th July 2000. For the value to have increased from £63,950 to £259,000 over the 25 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 39 OPEN FIELD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Birmingham local authority area.
