CHESS VIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CHESS VIEW sales from September 1997 and January 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 September 1997 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might CHESS VIEW be worth now?

CHESS VIEW might now be worth an estimated £1,006,420.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.5%, between January 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 73.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHESS VIEW of £580,000 on 20th January 2012. For the value to have increased from £580,000 to £1,006,420 over the twelve years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHESS VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The January 2012 sale price of £580,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHESS VIEW has not materially changed since January 2012.
