137 POTOVENS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 137 POTOVENS LANE sales between July 1999 and May 2020 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 2015 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
