21 BIRCHTREE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 21 BIRCHTREE CLOSE sales from February 1995 and July 2022 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 February 1995 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, which was also at 1% below the HPI.

What might 21 BIRCHTREE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 8%, between July 2022 and December 2024, for semi-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 8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 BIRCHTREE CLOSE of £180,000 on 22nd July 2022. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £194,356 over the one year and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
