LIGHT HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Solihull local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four LIGHT HOUSE sales between January 1999 and September 2012 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 November 2009 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might LIGHT HOUSE be worth now?

LIGHT HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £939,612.

This is based on house price inflation of 74%, between September 2012 and October 2025, for detached houses, in the Solihull local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LIGHT HOUSE of £540,000 on 3rd September 2012. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £939,612 over the twelve years and eleven months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LIGHT HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Solihull local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £540,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LIGHT HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2012.
