5 PORTLAND CROFT 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 PORTLAND CROFT sales from January 2007 and August 2014 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 January 2007 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might 5 PORTLAND CROFT be worth now?

5 PORTLAND CROFT might now be worth an estimated £483,796.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.3%, between August 2014 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 61.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 PORTLAND CROFT of £300,000 on 14th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £483,796 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 PORTLAND CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
