12 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 12 ORCHARD CLOSE sales between May 1998 and January 2014 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 August 2000 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 12 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 65.9%, between January 2014 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 65.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 ORCHARD CLOSE of £174,000 on 20th January 2014. For the value to have increased from £174,000 to £288,650 over the ten years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
