18 BUTTERCUP 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 four 18 BUTTERCUP CLOSE sales between September 1998 and July 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 October 2012 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 18 BUTTERCUP CLOSE be worth now?
