3 BENTON DRIVE 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 five 3 BENTON DRIVE sales between July 1998 and January 2020 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 August 2006 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 57% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% below the HPI.

What might 3 BENTON DRIVE be worth now?

The 32.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BENTON DRIVE of £140,000 on 3rd January 2020. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £184,891 over the three years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
