The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 72 THE POPLARS sales between March 1995 and November 2019 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 February 2014 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
