1 FORGE WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 FORGE WAY sales between April 1999 and February 2024 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 2008 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 67% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% below the HPI.

What might 1 FORGE WAY be worth now?

1 FORGE WAY might now be worth an estimated £142,143.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.3%, between February 2024 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 FORGE WAY of £135,000 on 16th February 2024. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £142,143 over the two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 FORGE WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The February 2024 sale price of £135,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 FORGE WAY has not materially changed since February 2024.
