16 BIRCH 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 16 BIRCH CLOSE sales from October 2001 and April 2004 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 October 2001 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 16 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

16 BIRCH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £204,897.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.3%, between April 2004 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 93.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 BIRCH CLOSE of £106,000 on 8th April 2004. For the value to have increased from £106,000 to £204,897 over the 21 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 BIRCH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The April 2004 sale price of £106,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
