23A MEADOWGATE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leeds local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 23A MEADOWGATE CROFT sales between September 2000 and February 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 September 2005 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 23A MEADOWGATE CROFT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 7%, between February 2024 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Leeds local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23A MEADOWGATE CROFT of £260,000 on 9th February 2024. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £278,092 over the two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
