BALLOCH COTTAGE 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 three BALLOCH COTTAGE sales between May 1995 and April 2004 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 March 1997 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might BALLOCH COTTAGE be worth now?

BALLOCH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £312,811.

This is based on house price inflation of 109.9%, between April 2004 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 109.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BALLOCH COTTAGE of £149,000 on 2nd April 2004. For the value to have increased from £149,000 to £312,811 over the nineteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BALLOCH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The April 2004 sale price of £149,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BALLOCH COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2004.
