The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 263 TOWNGATE sales from November 2013 and April 2017 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 November 2013 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
