20 RIDINGS 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 20 RIDINGS CLOSE sales from March 1995 and December 2025 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 March 1995 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the December 2025 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
