8 BIRCH FOLD 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 three 8 BIRCH FOLD sales between June 2007 and May 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 June 2010 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 8 BIRCH FOLD be worth now?

8 BIRCH FOLD might now be worth an estimated £364,325.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.5%, between May 2018 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 37.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BIRCH FOLD of £265,000 on 16th May 2018. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £364,325 over the five years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
