257 TOWNGATE 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 257 TOWNGATE sales from March 1996 and September 1999 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 March 1996 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the September 1999 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
