4 THE BALK 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 4 THE BALK sales from January 2001 and January 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 January 2001 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 4 THE BALK be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 64.6%, between January 2010 and February 2025, 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 64.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 THE BALK of £250,000 on 25th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £411,518 over the fourteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
