CROFT HOUSE 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 three CROFT HOUSE sales between October 2005 and December 2021 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 2017 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, which was also at 40% below the HPI.

What might CROFT HOUSE be worth now?

CROFT HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £186,298.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.9%, between December 2021 and February 2025, 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 12.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROFT HOUSE of £165,000 on 3rd December 2021. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £186,298 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROFT HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £165,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROFT HOUSE has not materially changed since December 2021.
