BIRCH TREE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCH TREE HOUSE sales between May 1995 and February 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 July 2005 sale was for 88% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH TREE HOUSE be worth now?

BIRCH TREE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £553,000.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.3%, between February 2024 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the South Ribble local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH TREE HOUSE of £525,000 on 1st February 2024. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £553,000 over the eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH TREE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
