36 THE POPLARS 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 36 THE POPLARS sales from August 1998 and December 1998 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 August 1998 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the December 1998 sale, where it rises to 48% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% below the HPI.

What might 36 THE POPLARS be worth now?

36 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £159,868.

This is based on house price inflation of 299.7%, between December 1998 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 299.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 36 THE POPLARS of £40,000 on 4th December 1998. For the value to have increased from £40,000 to £159,868 over the 26 years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 36 THE POPLARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The December 1998 sale price of £40,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 36 THE POPLARS has not materially changed since December 1998.
