WILLOW DENE 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 WILLOW DENE sales from April 2001 and June 2006 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 April 2001 sale was for 104% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 104% above the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, which was also at 104% above the HPI.

What might WILLOW DENE be worth now?

WILLOW DENE might now be worth an estimated £630,489.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.6%, between June 2006 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 57.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WILLOW DENE of £400,000 on 30th June 2006. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £630,489 over the seventeen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WILLOW DENE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The June 2006 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WILLOW DENE has not materially changed since June 2006.
