FIR 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 FIR COTTAGE sales from January 2000 and October 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 January 2000 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might FIR COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 41%, between October 2017 and February 2025, 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 41% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIR COTTAGE of £375,000 on 26th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £528,571 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
