THE ASHES 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 THE ASHES sales from November 2001 and January 2018 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 November 2001 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it rises to 197% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 197% above the HPI.

What might THE ASHES be worth now?

THE ASHES might now be worth an estimated £930,001.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.1%, between January 2018 and April 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 43.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ASHES of £649,999 on 30th January 2018. For the value to have increased from £649,999 to £930,001 over the seven years and nine months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ASHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The January 2018 sale price of £649,999 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ASHES has not materially changed since January 2018.
