1 THE BALK 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 two 1 THE BALK sales from January 2016 and June 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 January 2016 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE BALK be worth now?

1 THE BALK might now be worth an estimated £385,763.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.7%, between June 2024 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 5.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE BALK of £365,000 on 28th June 2024. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £385,763 over the one year and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE BALK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The June 2024 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
