18 SMYTH LANE 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 three 18 SMYTH LANE sales between December 2017 and May 2023 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 2021 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 18 SMYTH LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.9%, between May 2023 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 4.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 SMYTH LANE of £300,000 on 2nd May 2023. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £314,751 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
