260 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 four 260 TOWNGATE sales between May 2004 and May 2014 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 April 2006 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
