259 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 three 259 TOWNGATE sales between January 1999 and May 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 November 2019 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the May 2025 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 259 TOWNGATE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 0.2%, between May 2025 and August 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 0.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 259 TOWNGATE of £238,000 on 16th May 2025. For the value to have decreased from £238,000 to £237,573 over the nine months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
