22 BIRCHWOOD 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 four 22 BIRCHWOOD CLOSE sales between January 1997 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 June 2006 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 22 BIRCHWOOD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 49%, between May 2017 and February 2025, 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 49% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 BIRCHWOOD CLOSE of £120,000 on 26th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £120,000 to £178,775 over the eight years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
