IVY 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 IVY COTTAGE sales from May 2009 and May 2015 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 May 2009 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might IVY COTTAGE be worth now?

IVY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £454,480.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.2%, between May 2015 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 56.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for IVY COTTAGE of £291,000 on 29th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £291,000 to £454,480 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of IVY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The May 2015 sale price of £291,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of IVY COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2015.
