42 ELM CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 ELM CROFT sales from August 2016 and November 2018 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 August 2016 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 42 ELM CROFT be worth now?

42 ELM CROFT might now be worth an estimated £318,376.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.2%, between November 2018 and October 2025, for detached houses, in the Sandwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 ELM CROFT of £225,501 on 12th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £225,501 to £318,376 over the seven years and one month to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 ELM CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sandwell local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £225,501 represented a fair market value for the property.
