79 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 two 79 LAWEFIELD LANE sales from December 1995 and January 2016 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 1995 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 300% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 300% above the HPI.

What might 79 LAWEFIELD LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 57.4%, between January 2016 and February 2025, 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 57.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 LAWEFIELD LANE of £495,000 on 12th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £779,065 over the eight years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
