26 BLACK FIRS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire East local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 BLACK FIRS LANE sales from April 2003 and May 2024 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 2003 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 87% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 87% above the HPI.

What might 26 BLACK FIRS LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6.3%, between May 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cheshire East local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 BLACK FIRS LANE of £850,000 on 22nd May 2024. For the value to have increased from £850,000 to £903,499 over the one year and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
