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 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might SKELL LODGE be worth now?

SKELL LODGE might now be worth an estimated £234,883.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.2%, between December 2018 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 34.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SKELL LODGE of £175,000 on 20th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £234,883 over the seven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SKELL LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £175,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SKELL LODGE has not materially changed since December 2018.
