FOX CROFT 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 FOX CROFT sales from September 1995 and August 2019 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 1995 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might FOX CROFT be worth now?

FOX CROFT might now be worth an estimated £631,726.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.7%, between August 2019 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 33.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOX CROFT of £472,500 on 13th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £472,500 to £631,726 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOX CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £472,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOX CROFT has not materially changed since August 2019.
