23 WATER LANE 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 23 WATER LANE sales from February 1997 and May 2015 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 1997 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.
