36 POTOVENS LANE 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 36 POTOVENS LANE sales between May 1995 and July 2024 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 2019 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI.
