22 FORGE WAY 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 22 FORGE WAY sales from January 2005 and May 2006 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 January 2005 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 22 FORGE WAY be worth now?

22 FORGE WAY might now be worth an estimated £300,523.

This is based on house price inflation of 67%, between May 2006 and December 2024, for 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 67% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 FORGE WAY of £180,000 on 31st May 2006. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £300,523 over the seventeen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The May 2006 sale price of £180,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
