5 LAITHES CRESCENT 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 five 5 LAITHES CRESCENT sales between October 1998 and May 2017 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 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 5 LAITHES CRESCENT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 46.1%, between May 2017 and February 2025, for 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 46.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LAITHES CRESCENT of £193,000 on 31st May 2017. For the value to have increased from £193,000 to £281,996 over the eight years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
