51 THE BALK 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 51 THE BALK sales from July 2003 and January 2015 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 July 2003 sale was for 88% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.
