260 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 four 260 TOWNGATE sales between May 2004 and May 2014 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 2006 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 260 TOWNGATE be worth now?

260 TOWNGATE might now be worth an estimated £238,016.

This is based on house price inflation of 70%, between May 2014 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 70% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 260 TOWNGATE of £140,000 on 29th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £238,016 over the ten years and nine months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 260 TOWNGATE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 260 TOWNGATE has not materially changed since May 2014.
