APPLEGARTH COTTAGE 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 APPLEGARTH COTTAGE sales between April 2000 and May 2017 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 August 2011 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might APPLEGARTH COTTAGE be worth now?

APPLEGARTH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £562,665.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.3%, between May 2017 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 44.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for APPLEGARTH COTTAGE of £390,000 on 24th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £562,665 over the six years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of APPLEGARTH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
