17 OAKWOOD 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 17 OAKWOOD sales from November 1999 and September 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 November 1999 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 17 OAKWOOD be worth now?

17 OAKWOOD might now be worth an estimated £393,316.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.1%, between September 2020 and December 2024, 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 31.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 OAKWOOD of £300,000 on 4th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £393,316 over the three years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
