159 COWAN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 159 COWAN WAY sales from February 2015 and June 2019 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 February 2015 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 159 COWAN WAY be worth now?

159 COWAN WAY might now be worth an estimated £234,280.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.8%, between June 2019 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Halton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 37.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 COWAN WAY of £170,000 on 14th June 2019. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £234,280 over the four years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 159 COWAN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Halton local authority area.
• The June 2019 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
