THE SHANTY 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 three THE SHANTY sales between June 2016 and November 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 July 2016 sale was for 98% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might THE SHANTY be worth now?

THE SHANTY might now be worth an estimated £466,621.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.4%, between November 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 1.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SHANTY of £460,000 on 22nd November 2024. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £466,621 over the one year and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SHANTY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The November 2024 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SHANTY has not materially changed since November 2024.
