242 SOMERSET ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 242 SOMERSET ROAD sales between November 1996 and March 2019 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 December 2005 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
