LEGH CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire East local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LEGH CROFT sales between June 1997 and February 2005 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 171% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 171% above the HPI over time, until the February 2005 sale, where it falls to 93% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 93% above the HPI.

What might LEGH CROFT be worth now?

LEGH CROFT might now be worth an estimated £927,187.

This is based on house price inflation of 91.2%, between February 2005 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cheshire East local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 91.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LEGH CROFT of £485,000 on 18th February 2005. For the value to have increased from £485,000 to £927,187 over the eighteen years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LEGH CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire East local authority area.
• The February 2005 sale price of £485,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LEGH CROFT has not materially changed since February 2005.
