8 CRAIG CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 CRAIG CLOSE sales from March 2006 and May 2008 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 March 2006 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the May 2008 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 8 CRAIG CLOSE be worth now?

The 56.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 CRAIG CLOSE of £165,000 on 2nd May 2008. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £257,721 over the eighteen years to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
