12 BIRCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 12 BIRCH CLOSE sales between October 2001 and November 2021 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 September 2021 sale was for 299% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 299% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 12 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

12 BIRCH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £148,314.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.5%, between November 2021 and June 2025, for terraced 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 14.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 BIRCH CLOSE of £129,500 on 22nd November 2021. For the value to have increased from £129,500 to £148,314 over the four years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 BIRCH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £129,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
