The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 70 BEDFORD CLOSE sales from August 2001 and September 2015 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 August 2001 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.
70 BEDFORD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £197,048.
This is based on house price inflation of 59.9%, between September 2015 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 59.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 BEDFORD CLOSE of £123,250 on 29th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £123,250 to £197,048 over the ten years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
