16 FERN 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 two 16 FERN CLOSE sales from April 2002 and October 2015 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 April 2002 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 16 FERN CLOSE be worth now?

16 FERN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £336,696.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.7%, between October 2015 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 51.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 FERN CLOSE of £222,000 on 7th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £222,000 to £336,696 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 FERN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £222,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
