70 THE BALK 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 70 THE BALK sales from October 2004 and August 2012 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 October 2004 sale was for 136% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 136% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 232% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 232% above the HPI.

What might 70 THE BALK be worth now?

70 THE BALK might now be worth an estimated £1,038,336.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.1%, between August 2012 and May 2026, for 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 73.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 THE BALK of £600,000 on 17th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £1,038,336 over the fourteen years and three months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 70 THE BALK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
