3 MEADOWGATE DRIVE 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 3 MEADOWGATE DRIVE sales between April 1996 and August 2010 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 October 2008 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 3 MEADOWGATE DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 73.3%, between August 2010 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 73.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MEADOWGATE DRIVE of £230,000 on 20th August 2010. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £398,521 over the thirteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
