2 FORTRESS CLOSE 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 2 FORTRESS CLOSE sales from April 2019 and February 2023 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 2019 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 2 FORTRESS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.6%, between February 2023 and March 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 1.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 FORTRESS CLOSE of £365,000 on 3rd February 2023. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £370,759 over the one year and eleven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
