4 THE CROFT 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 THE CROFT sales from June 2001 and October 2020 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 June 2001 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 4 THE CROFT be worth now?
