8 MITRE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 MITRE CLOSE sales between March 2004 and January 2020 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 December 2015 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 8 MITRE CLOSE be worth now?

8 MITRE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £218,098.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.3%, between January 2020 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the South Staffordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MITRE CLOSE of £160,000 on 31st January 2020. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £218,098 over the four years and seven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 MITRE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Staffordshire local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
