45 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE 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 three 45 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE sales between April 1999 and September 2022 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 October 2013 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might 45 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE be worth now?

45 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £310,706.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.1%, between September 2022 and December 2024, 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 7.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 45 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE of £290,000 on 29th September 2022. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £310,706 over the one year and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 45 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
