72 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 72 THE BALK sales from October 1996 and November 2017 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 1996 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might 72 THE BALK be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 41.4%, between November 2017 and February 2025, 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 41.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 72 THE BALK of £345,000 on 10th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £345,000 to £487,829 over the eight years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
