14 THOMAS 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 14 THOMAS CLOSE sales from August 1998 and June 2004 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 1998 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 14 THOMAS CLOSE be worth now?

14 THOMAS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £229,330.

This is based on house price inflation of 91.1%, between June 2004 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 91.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 THOMAS CLOSE of £120,000 on 24th June 2004. For the value to have increased from £120,000 to £229,330 over the nineteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 14 THOMAS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The June 2004 sale price of £120,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
