5 LYNWOOD DRIVE 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 LYNWOOD DRIVE sales from April 1997 and January 2003 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 1997 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the January 2003 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
