OWL WOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bradford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OWL WOOD sales from September 1996 and September 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 September 1996 sale was for 397% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 397% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 484% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 484% above the HPI.

What might OWL WOOD be worth now?

OWL WOOD might now be worth an estimated £1,855,395.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.9%, between September 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bradford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OWL WOOD of £1,365,000 on 14th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,365,000 to £1,855,395 over the eight years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OWL WOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bradford local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £1,365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OWL WOOD has not materially changed since September 2017.
