The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 VIRGINIA GARDENS sales between July 1995 and March 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 October 2016 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
