BIRCH LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BIRCH LODGE sales between November 1996 and September 2017 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 2011 sale was for 87% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 87% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 61% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH LODGE be worth now?

BIRCH LODGE might now be worth an estimated £970,552.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.3%, between September 2017 and April 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH LODGE of £800,000 on 22nd September 2017. For the value to have increased from £800,000 to £970,552 over the eight years and five months to April 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £800,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCH LODGE has not materially changed since September 2017.
