5 THE BEECHES 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 THE BEECHES sales between October 1998 and March 2020 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 March 2013 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE BEECHES be worth now?

5 THE BEECHES might now be worth an estimated £331,209.

This is based on house price inflation of 33%, between March 2020 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 33% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE BEECHES of £249,000 on 13th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £249,000 to £331,209 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE BEECHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £249,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE BEECHES has not materially changed since March 2020.
