The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 FIRTH CLOSE sales from August 2001 and July 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 August 2001 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.
