2 LAPWING MEWS 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 2 LAPWING MEWS sales from December 2020 and August 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the December 2020 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
