COURTYARD COTTAGE 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 five COURTYARD COTTAGE sales between February 1995 and August 2022 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 2011 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might COURTYARD COTTAGE be worth now?

COURTYARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £178,083.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.8%, between August 2022 and December 2024, 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 4.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COURTYARD COTTAGE of £170,000 on 17th August 2022. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £178,083 over the one year and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COURTYARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COURTYARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2022.
