THE FOLD 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 FOLD sales from August 2002 and October 2024 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 August 2002 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might THE FOLD be worth now?

THE FOLD might now be worth an estimated £272,883.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.1%, between October 2024 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 1.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FOLD of £270,000 on 30th October 2024. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £272,883 over the one year and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FOLD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The October 2024 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FOLD has not materially changed since October 2024.
