23 LAUREL GROVE 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 23 LAUREL GROVE sales between August 1999 and May 2016 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 April 2010 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might 23 LAUREL GROVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 48.4%, between May 2016 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 48.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 LAUREL GROVE of £268,762 on 20th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £268,762 to £398,827 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
