BIRKS FARM 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 BIRKS FARM sales from April 1995 and July 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 April 1995 sale was for 105% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 105% above the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it rises to 575% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 575% above the HPI.

What might BIRKS FARM be worth now?

BIRKS FARM might now be worth an estimated £2,295,474.

This is based on house price inflation of 91.3%, between July 2004 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 91.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRKS FARM of £1,200,000 on 8th July 2004. For the value to have increased from £1,200,000 to £2,295,474 over the 21 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRKS FARM has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The July 2004 sale price of £1,200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRKS FARM has not materially changed since July 2004.
