LAUREL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four LAUREL COTTAGE sales between November 1997 and October 2023 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 June 2015 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might LAUREL COTTAGE be worth now?

LAUREL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £201,204.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.9%, between October 2023 and December 2024, for semi-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 7.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAUREL COTTAGE of £186,500 on 24th October 2023. For the value to have increased from £186,500 to £201,204 over the ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAUREL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The October 2023 sale price of £186,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAUREL COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2023.
