5 LIME TREE 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 LIME TREE CLOSE sales from April 2017 and December 2022 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 April 2017 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
