The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 263 TOWNGATE sales from November 2013 and April 2017 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 2013 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
263 TOWNGATE might now be worth an estimated £263,459.
This is based on house price inflation of 52.7%, between April 2017 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 52.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 263 TOWNGATE of £172,500 on 7th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £172,500 to £263,459 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
