The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 286 TOWNGATE sales from February 1996 and July 2026 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the February 1996 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the July 2026 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
