40 KING STREET 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 40 KING STREET sales between March 1999 and January 2024 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 2022 sale was for 74% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

What might 40 KING STREET be worth now?

The 3.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 KING STREET of £735,000 on 29th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £735,000 to £762,726 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
