29 HILLCREST CLOSE 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 29 HILLCREST CLOSE sales from December 2002 and August 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 December 2002 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 29 HILLCREST CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 37%, between August 2018 and December 2024, for 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 37% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 HILLCREST CLOSE of £198,500 on 6th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £198,500 to £271,890 over the five years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
