GRANTLEY 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 three GRANTLEY COTTAGE sales between October 1998 and January 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 December 2014 sale was for 290% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 290% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 807% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 807% above the HPI.

What might GRANTLEY COTTAGE be worth now?

GRANTLEY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £2,805,233.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.2%, between January 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 12.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GRANTLEY COTTAGE of £2,500,000 on 31st January 2022. For the value to have increased from £2,500,000 to £2,805,233 over the one year and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GRANTLEY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £2,500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
