THORNLEA 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 five THORNLEA sales between July 2001 and September 2022 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 2017 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
