NEW BIRCHELLS 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 NEW BIRCHELLS sales between November 2007 and May 2021 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 2015 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 114% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 114% above the HPI.

What might NEW BIRCHELLS be worth now?

NEW BIRCHELLS might now be worth an estimated £820,939.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.6%, between May 2021 and July 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 15.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for NEW BIRCHELLS of £710,000 on 28th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £710,000 to £820,939 over the three years and ten months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of NEW BIRCHELLS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The May 2021 sale price of £710,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of NEW BIRCHELLS has not materially changed since May 2021.
