OAK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OAK COTTAGE sales from October 2007 and August 2017 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 2007 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 150% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 150% above the HPI.

What might OAK COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £530,721.

This is based on house price inflation of 47.4%, between August 2017 and December 2024, for semi-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 47.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK COTTAGE of £360,000 on 14th August 2017. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £530,721 over the six years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2017.
