5 HIRST 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 5 HIRST ROAD sales between August 2005 and December 2008 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 2007 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the December 2008 sale, where it falls to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might 5 HIRST ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 63.8%, between December 2008 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 63.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 HIRST ROAD of £170,000 on 19th December 2008. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £278,528 over the seventeen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
