1 THE WICKETS 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 WICKETS sales from April 1996 and September 1997 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 April 1996 sale was for 111% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 111% above the HPI over time, until the September 1997 sale, where it falls to 94% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 94% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE WICKETS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 299.8%, between September 1997 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 299.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE WICKETS of £150,000 on 1st September 1997. For the value to have increased from £150,000 to £599,628 over the 26 years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE WICKETS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The September 1997 sale price of £150,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
