6 RISHWORTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 6 RISHWORTH CLOSE sales between March 1995 and October 2018 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 December 2008 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might 6 RISHWORTH CLOSE be worth now?

The 39.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 RISHWORTH CLOSE of £185,000 on 18th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £258,628 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
