8 BIRCH AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 BIRCH AVENUE sales from July 1997 and October 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 1997 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 8 BIRCH AVENUE be worth now?

8 BIRCH AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £270,768.

This is based on house price inflation of 69.3%, between October 2009 and February 2025, for semi-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 69.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BIRCH AVENUE of £159,950 on 23rd October 2009. For the value to have increased from £159,950 to £270,768 over the sixteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 BIRCH AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £159,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
