THE BUNGALOW 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 BUNGALOW sales from March 1995 and September 2019 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 March 1995 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might THE BUNGALOW be worth now?

THE BUNGALOW might now be worth an estimated £174,295.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.1%, between September 2019 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 34.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BUNGALOW of £130,000 on 20th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £130,000 to £174,295 over the four years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BUNGALOW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £130,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BUNGALOW has not materially changed since September 2019.
