HILLTOP Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Barnsley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILLTOP sales from October 1999 and May 2007 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 October 1999 sale was for 138% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 138% above the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it falls to 104% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 104% above the HPI.

What might HILLTOP be worth now?

HILLTOP might now be worth an estimated £552,422.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.3%, between May 2007 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Barnsley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 49.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLTOP of £370,000 on 24th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £552,422 over the eighteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLTOP has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Barnsley local authority area.
• The May 2007 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLTOP has not materially changed since May 2007.
