70 WATER LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

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 WATER LANE sales from October 1999 and May 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 October 1999 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might 70 WATER LANE be worth now?

70 WATER LANE might now be worth an estimated £258,075.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.7%, between May 2014 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 68.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 WATER LANE of £153,000 on 29th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £153,000 to £258,075 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 70 WATER LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £153,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 70 WATER LANE has not materially changed since May 2014.
