159 WAKEFIELD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Kirklees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 159 WAKEFIELD ROAD sales between October 1997 and June 2024 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 2020 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 159 WAKEFIELD ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6.5%, between June 2024 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Kirklees local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 WAKEFIELD ROAD of £165,000 on 14th June 2024. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £175,747 over the one year and three months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
