THE LAURELS 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 LAURELS sales from May 2005 and February 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 2005 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
