DOWLEY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bradford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DOWLEY COTTAGE sales from June 2006 and July 2016 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 June 2006 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might DOWLEY COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 45.7%, between July 2016 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Bradford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWLEY COTTAGE of £194,000 on 15th July 2016. For the value to have increased from £194,000 to £282,651 over the seven years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
