THE DOVECOTE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE DOVECOTE sales between August 1995 and July 2025 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 2014 sale was for 211% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 211% above the HPI over time, until the July 2025 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might THE DOVECOTE be worth now?

THE DOVECOTE might now be worth an estimated £172,597.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.5%, between July 2025 and August 2025, for terraced 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 1.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE DOVECOTE of £170,000 on 1st July 2025. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £172,597 over the eleven months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE DOVECOTE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The July 2025 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE DOVECOTE has not materially changed since July 2025.
