8 QUEENSGATE 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 two 8 QUEENSGATE sales from March 2008 and July 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 March 2008 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 8 QUEENSGATE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 8.2%, between July 2022 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 8.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 QUEENSGATE of £492,000 on 29th July 2022. For the value to have increased from £492,000 to £532,122 over the one year and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
