1 THE MOUNT 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 two 1 THE MOUNT sales from July 1998 and May 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 July 1998 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 82% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 82% above the HPI.
