24 RIDINGS 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 three 24 RIDINGS CLOSE sales between August 1995 and November 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 June 1999 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the November 2002 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might 24 RIDINGS CLOSE be worth now?

24 RIDINGS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £252,695.

This is based on house price inflation of 187.2%, between November 2002 and February 2025, 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 187.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 24 RIDINGS CLOSE of £88,000 on 25th November 2002. For the value to have increased from £88,000 to £252,695 over the 23 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 24 RIDINGS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The November 2002 sale price of £88,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
