2 COTTAGE ROAD 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 two 2 COTTAGE ROAD sales from October 2003 and December 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 October 2003 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 2 COTTAGE ROAD be worth now?

The 39.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 COTTAGE ROAD of £325,000 on 7th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £452,183 over the seven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
