12 MERLIN CLOSE 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 12 MERLIN CLOSE sales from November 2001 and October 2013 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 2001 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 12 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

12 MERLIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £262,261.

This is based on house price inflation of 67%, between October 2013 and February 2025, 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 67% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 MERLIN CLOSE of £157,000 on 11th October 2013. For the value to have increased from £157,000 to £262,261 over the twelve years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 MERLIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The October 2013 sale price of £157,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 12 MERLIN CLOSE has not materially changed since October 2013.
