The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 MELBOURNE ROAD sales from February 1997 and July 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the February 1997 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI.
