5 THE LAWNS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE LAWNS sales from January 2006 and December 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 January 2006 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE LAWNS be worth now?
