BIRCH HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCH HOUSE sales between May 1997 and September 2024 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 2007 sale was for 94% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 94% above the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, which was also at 94% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH HOUSE be worth now?

BIRCH HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £745,627.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.8%, between September 2024 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH HOUSE of £725,000 on 12th September 2024. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £745,627 over the one year and one month to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCH HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2024.
