2 THE LINKS 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 THE LINKS sales from September 2002 and April 2013 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 September 2002 sale was for 99% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% above the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE LINKS be worth now?

2 THE LINKS might now be worth an estimated £469,056.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.3%, between April 2013 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 76.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE LINKS of £266,000 on 19th April 2013. For the value to have increased from £266,000 to £469,056 over the ten years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE LINKS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The April 2013 sale price of £266,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE LINKS has not materially changed since April 2013.
