5 LAITHES VIEW 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 three 5 LAITHES VIEW sales between December 1996 and April 2021 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 May 2019 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 5 LAITHES VIEW be worth now?

5 LAITHES VIEW might now be worth an estimated £287,769.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.2%, between April 2021 and December 2024, 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 21.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LAITHES VIEW of £237,500 on 30th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £237,500 to £287,769 over the two years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LAITHES VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £237,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
