THE ASHES 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 two THE ASHES sales from November 2001 and January 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 November 2001 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it rises to 186% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 186% above the HPI.
