20 SEFTON LANE 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 20 SEFTON LANE sales from July 2006 and May 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 July 2006 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, which was also at 33% below the HPI.

What might 20 SEFTON LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 64.7%, between May 2014 and December 2024, 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 64.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 SEFTON LANE of £140,000 on 22nd May 2014. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £230,608 over the nine years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
