The below graph shows the average semi-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 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
72 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £171,730.
This is based on house price inflation of 37.4%, between November 2019 and December 2024, for semi-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 37.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 72 THE POPLARS of £125,000 on 28th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £125,000 to £171,730 over the four years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
