4 OSPREY CLOSE 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 five 4 OSPREY CLOSE sales between February 1996 and March 2006 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 2000 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the March 2006 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 4 OSPREY CLOSE be worth now?

4 OSPREY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £297,669.

This is based on house price inflation of 86%, between March 2006 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 86% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 OSPREY CLOSE of £160,000 on 24th March 2006. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £297,669 over the nineteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 OSPREY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire East local authority area.
• The March 2006 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 OSPREY CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2006.
