4 VIRGINIA 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 three 4 VIRGINIA CLOSE sales between February 1996 and March 2016 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 February 2006 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 78% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 78% above the HPI.
