FARCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Calderdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FARCROFT sales from July 2002 and August 2022 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 roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might FARCROFT be worth now?

FARCROFT might now be worth an estimated £181,587.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.8%, between August 2022 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Calderdale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FARCROFT of £161,000 on 3rd August 2022. For the value to have increased from £161,000 to £181,587 over the three years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FARCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Calderdale local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £161,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FARCROFT has not materially changed since August 2022.
