1 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 ORCHARD CLOSE sales between September 1997 and November 2004 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 1999 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 1 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

1 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £301,610.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.5%, between November 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Kirklees local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ORCHARD CLOSE of £168,000 on 22nd November 2004. For the value to have increased from £168,000 to £301,610 over the 21 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ORCHARD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The November 2004 sale price of £168,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
