5 COWDRY CLOSE 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 5 COWDRY CLOSE sales from February 2000 and August 2012 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 2000 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 5 COWDRY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 69.1%, between August 2012 and December 2024, 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 69.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 COWDRY CLOSE of £165,000 on 17th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £278,972 over the eleven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
