THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE 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 NEW SCHOOL HOUSE sales from January 2004 and April 2010 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 January 2004 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the April 2010 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE be worth now?

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £410,101.

This is based on house price inflation of 64%, between April 2010 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 64% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE of £250,000 on 30th April 2010. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £410,101 over the thirteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The April 2010 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE has not materially changed since April 2010.
