71 CROSS LANE 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 71 CROSS LANE sales from August 2000 and November 2004 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 2000 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
