2 THE POPLARS 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 POPLARS sales from August 1996 and February 2002 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 1996 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the February 2002 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 2 THE POPLARS be worth now?

2 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £214,530.

This is based on house price inflation of 213.2%, between February 2002 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 213.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE POPLARS of £68,500 on 8th February 2002. For the value to have increased from £68,500 to £214,530 over the 21 years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE POPLARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The February 2002 sale price of £68,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE POPLARS has not materially changed since February 2002.
