159 BIRCH LANE 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 159 BIRCH LANE sales from May 2001 and January 2006 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 May 2001 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the January 2006 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.

What might 159 BIRCH LANE be worth now?

The 71.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 BIRCH LANE of £55,000 on 9th January 2006. For the value to have increased from £55,000 to £94,089 over the eighteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
