31 ELSTREE AVENUE 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 31 ELSTREE AVENUE sales from May 1996 and December 2011 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 May 1996 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might 31 ELSTREE AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 76.1%, between December 2011 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 76.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 ELSTREE AVENUE of £197,500 on 16th December 2011. For the value to have increased from £197,500 to £347,755 over the fourteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
