8 THE OVAL 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 8 THE OVAL sales from May 2005 and April 2014 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 May 2005 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.
