GARDEN 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 two GARDEN COTTAGE sales from May 2012 and May 2019 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 May 2012 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might GARDEN COTTAGE be worth now?

GARDEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £371,854.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.7%, between May 2019 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 37.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDEN COTTAGE of £270,000 on 16th May 2019. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £371,854 over the six years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The May 2019 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2019.
