7 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 two 7 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE sales from May 2015 and October 2018 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 May 2015 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 7 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE be worth now?

7 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £247,804.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.7%, between October 2018 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 37.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BRIDGEWATER DRIVE of £180,000 on 4th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £247,804 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
