MARPHYLL LODGE 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 MARPHYLL LODGE sales between November 1996 and November 2020 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 September 2011 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
