1 THE GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 1 THE GARDENS sales between August 1997 and July 2022 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 November 2020 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, which was also at 28% below the HPI.

What might 1 THE GARDENS be worth now?

1 THE GARDENS might now be worth an estimated £223,644.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.5%, between July 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wakefield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE GARDENS of £210,000 on 29th July 2022. For the value to have increased from £210,000 to £223,644 over the one year and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE GARDENS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The July 2022 sale price of £210,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE GARDENS has not materially changed since July 2022.
