30 MELVERLEY DRIVE 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 two 30 MELVERLEY DRIVE sales from June 1998 and July 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 June 1998 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 30 MELVERLEY DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 47.4%, between July 2016 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 47.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 30 MELVERLEY DRIVE of £145,000 on 1st July 2016. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £213,778 over the nine years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
