SKELL 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 three SKELL LODGE sales between February 1995 and December 2018 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 2006 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
