1 HORNBEAM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 HORNBEAM CLOSE sales from March 2002 and April 2016 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 March 2002 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 1 HORNBEAM CLOSE be worth now?

1 HORNBEAM CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £264,690.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.3%, between April 2016 and December 2024, for semi-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 51.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 HORNBEAM CLOSE of £175,000 on 7th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £264,690 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 HORNBEAM CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £175,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
