5 LAY GARTH 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 three 5 LAY GARTH sales between November 1997 and September 2009 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 July 2002 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 5 LAY GARTH be worth now?

5 LAY GARTH might now be worth an estimated £429,454.

This is based on house price inflation of 82.7%, between September 2009 and February 2025, 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 82.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LAY GARTH of £235,000 on 24th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £429,454 over the sixteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LAY GARTH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Leeds local authority area.
• The September 2009 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 LAY GARTH has not materially changed since September 2009.
