4 BIRCHEN 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 4 BIRCHEN CLOSE sales from December 2001 and October 2011 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 2001 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 4 BIRCHEN CLOSE be worth now?

4 BIRCHEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £257,302.

This is based on house price inflation of 66%, between October 2011 and February 2025, 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 66% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BIRCHEN CLOSE of £154,995 on 26th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £154,995 to £257,302 over the fourteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 BIRCHEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The October 2011 sale price of £154,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
