THE BOWER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BOWER sales between October 2003 and December 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 December 2006 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 86% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 86% above the HPI.

What might THE BOWER be worth now?

THE BOWER might now be worth an estimated £633,642.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.5%, between December 2017 and February 2025, for 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 38.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BOWER of £457,500 on 1st December 2017. For the value to have increased from £457,500 to £633,642 over the eight years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BOWER has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Kirklees local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £457,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BOWER has not materially changed since December 2017.
