5 BIRCHTREE 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 5 BIRCHTREE CLOSE sales from October 2001 and October 2019 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 2001 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 54% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% below the HPI.
