68 DURHAM ROAD 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 two 68 DURHAM ROAD sales from July 1998 and May 2012 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 July 1998 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 68 DURHAM ROAD be worth now?

68 DURHAM ROAD might now be worth an estimated £179,548.

This is based on house price inflation of 71%, between May 2012 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 71% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 68 DURHAM ROAD of £105,000 on 16th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £105,000 to £179,548 over the eleven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
