159 LEEDS ROAD 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 two 159 LEEDS ROAD sales from June 2007 and April 2018 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 June 2007 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 159 LEEDS ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 48.3%, between April 2018 and December 2024, for semi-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 48.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 LEEDS ROAD of £126,500 on 6th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £126,500 to £187,541 over the five years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
