The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 27 THE POPLARS sales between October 1997 and April 2018 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 September 2005 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
27 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £191,631.
This is based on house price inflation of 47.4%, between April 2018 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 47.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 THE POPLARS of £130,000 on 13th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £130,000 to £191,631 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
