72 LAWEFIELD LANE 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 four 72 LAWEFIELD LANE sales between December 1997 and January 2024 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 June 2001 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
