49 LEDGER LANE 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 49 LEDGER LANE sales between March 1996 and November 2009 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 October 2000 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it falls to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might 49 LEDGER LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 63.9%, between November 2009 and February 2025, 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 63.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 49 LEDGER LANE of £170,000 on 27th November 2009. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £278,624 over the sixteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
