242 KINGSWAY 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 242 KINGSWAY sales from February 2005 and April 2008 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 2005 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the April 2008 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might 242 KINGSWAY be worth now?

242 KINGSWAY might now be worth an estimated £278,004.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.3%, between April 2008 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 50.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 242 KINGSWAY of £185,000 on 4th April 2008. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £278,004 over the seventeen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 242 KINGSWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The April 2008 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
