42 LEEDS ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 LEEDS ROAD sales between September 2005 and July 2006 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 November 2005 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 42 LEEDS ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 56.5%, between July 2006 and December 2024, for semi-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 56.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 LEEDS ROAD of £156,950 on 14th July 2006. For the value to have increased from £156,950 to £245,571 over the seventeen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 LEEDS ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The July 2006 sale price of £156,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
