17 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE 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 17 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE sales from October 2005 and January 2010 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 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 17 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE be worth now?

17 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £237,995.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.9%, between January 2010 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 65.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE of £143,500 on 22nd January 2010. For the value to have increased from £143,500 to £237,995 over the thirteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
