CROFT 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 two CROFT COTTAGE sales from March 2000 and September 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 March 2000 sale was for 100% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 100% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.

What might CROFT COTTAGE be worth now?

CROFT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £717,624.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.3%, between September 2012 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 67.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROFT COTTAGE of £429,000 on 6th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £429,000 to £717,624 over the eleven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROFT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £429,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROFT COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2012.
