17 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 three 17 COWAN WAY sales between October 1995 and May 2017 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 September 1999 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might 17 COWAN WAY be worth now?

17 COWAN WAY might now be worth an estimated £249,653.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.3%, between May 2017 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 51.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 COWAN WAY of £165,000 on 12th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £249,653 over the six years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 COWAN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Halton local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £165,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 COWAN WAY has not materially changed since May 2017.
