4 ELMSWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 ELMSWAY sales from December 1997 and August 2002 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 December 1997 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the August 2002 sale, where it rises to 114% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 114% above the HPI.

What might 4 ELMSWAY be worth now?

4 ELMSWAY might now be worth an estimated £1,636,564.

This is based on house price inflation of 227.3%, between August 2002 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Trafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 227.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 ELMSWAY of £500,000 on 19th August 2002. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £1,636,564 over the 23 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 ELMSWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Trafford local authority area.
• The August 2002 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 ELMSWAY has not materially changed since August 2002.
