217 TOWNGATE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 217 TOWNGATE sales from October 1998 and April 2005 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 October 1998 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the April 2005 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 217 TOWNGATE be worth now?

217 TOWNGATE might now be worth an estimated £238,262.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.7%, between April 2005 and February 2025, for semi-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 72.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 217 TOWNGATE of £138,000 on 29th April 2005. For the value to have increased from £138,000 to £238,262 over the twenty years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 217 TOWNGATE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The April 2005 sale price of £138,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 217 TOWNGATE has not materially changed since April 2005.
