WHINCROFT 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 WHINCROFT sales from August 1995 and September 2018 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 August 1995 sale was for 288% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 288% above the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it rises to 392% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 392% above the HPI.

What might WHINCROFT be worth now?

WHINCROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,556,546.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.4%, between September 2018 and December 2024, 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 31.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHINCROFT of £1,184,751 on 27th September 2018. For the value to have increased from £1,184,751 to £1,556,546 over the five years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHINCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bradford local authority area.
• The September 2018 sale price of £1,184,751 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHINCROFT has not materially changed since September 2018.
