ROMBALDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bradford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ROMBALDS sales from October 2006 and August 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 October 2006 sale was for 677% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 677% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 575% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 575% above the HPI.

What might ROMBALDS be worth now?

ROMBALDS might now be worth an estimated £1,323,184.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.5%, between August 2014 and December 2024, for semi-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 57.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROMBALDS of £840,000 on 4th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £840,000 to £1,323,184 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROMBALDS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bradford local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £840,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROMBALDS has not materially changed since August 2014.
