HARD GAP Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leeds local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HARD GAP sales from December 1997 and January 2014 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 December 1997 sale was for 506% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 506% above the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 496% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 496% above the HPI.

What might HARD GAP be worth now?

HARD GAP might now be worth an estimated £2,679,503.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.7%, between January 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Leeds local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 75.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HARD GAP of £1,525,000 on 29th January 2014. For the value to have increased from £1,525,000 to £2,679,503 over the ten years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HARD GAP has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Leeds local authority area.
• The January 2014 sale price of £1,525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HARD GAP has not materially changed since January 2014.
