4 RICHARDS CROFT 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 four 4 RICHARDS CROFT sales between July 2014 and January 2019 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 November 2016 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 4 RICHARDS CROFT be worth now?

4 RICHARDS CROFT might now be worth an estimated £321,618.

This is based on house price inflation of 36%, between January 2019 and December 2024, for 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 36% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 RICHARDS CROFT of £236,500 on 3rd January 2019. For the value to have increased from £236,500 to £321,618 over the four years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
