1 WATERS REAMS 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 six 1 WATERS REAMS sales between August 2002 and July 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 August 2016 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 1 WATERS REAMS be worth now?

1 WATERS REAMS might now be worth an estimated £419,384.

The 4.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 WATERS REAMS of £400,000 on 12th July 2024. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £419,384 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
