31 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 two 31 MEADOWGATE CROFT sales from February 2004 and August 2020 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 February 2004 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 31 MEADOWGATE CROFT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 26.9%, between August 2020 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 26.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 MEADOWGATE CROFT of £197,500 on 7th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £197,500 to £250,689 over the three years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
